About this listen

Returning to the turbulent days of a nation divided, best-selling author and acclaimed historian James Robertson explores 70 fascinating figures who shaped America during Reconstruction and beyond. Relentless politicians, intrepid fighters, cunning innovators - the times called for bold moves, and this resilient generation would not disappoint. From William Tecumseh Sherman, a fierce leader who would revolutionize modern warfare, to Thomas Nast, whose undefeatable weapon was his stirring cartoons, these are the people who weathered the turmoil to see a nation reborn. Following these extraordinary legends from the battle lines to the White House, from budding metropolises to the wooly west, we rediscover the foundation of this great country.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

don't read this book of you want a nuanced history of reconstruction. the author paints the Union as corrupt conquerors and minimises the south's atrocities. anyone not already familiar with the time period would be better off finding another book on the subject as I had to filter out a lot of what was said.

biased towards the confederacy.
