Two Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War
Steve Sheinkin unravels the complicated string of events—the small things, the personal ones, the big issues—that led to The Civil War. It is a time and a war that threatened America's very existence, revealed in the surprising true stories of the soldiers and statesmen who battled it out.
History doesn't have to be boring. Two Miserable Presidents unravels the complicated string of events that was the American Civil War with a storyteller's eye to plot and character development: President Lincoln answers the door wearing his slippers, Jefferson Davis would rather prune his rosebushes than serve as president of the Confederacy, and Stonewall Jackson terrifies the North with his wily tactics on the battlefield. Carefully researched, with a generous helping of primary source material, this is an even-handed look at the Civil War—surprising, straightforward, and utterly true.
