Focused on the pivotal year of 1863, the second volume of Shelby Foote’s masterful narrative history brings to life the Battle of Gettysburg and Grant’s Vicksburg campaign and covers some of the most dramatic and important moments in the Civil War.

Includes maps throughout.

"This, then, is narrative history—a kind of history that goes back to an older literary tradition.... The writing is superb...one of the historical and literary achievements of our time." —The Washington Post Book World

" Mr. Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and a novelist's skill in directing the reader's attention to the men and the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war, without omitting items which are of momentary interest. His organization of facts could hardly be better." —Atlantic

"Though the events of this middle year of the Civil War have been recounted hundreds of times, they have rarely been re-created with such vigor and such picturesque detail." —The New York Times Book Review

"The lucidity of the battle narratives, the vigor of the prose, the strong feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting, are all controlled by constant sense of how it happened and what it was all about. Foote has the novelist's feeling for character and situation, without losing the historian's scrupulous regard for recorded fact. The Civil War is likely to stand unequaled." —Walter Mills

A stunning book, full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power. Eloquent proof that a historian should be a writer above all else. I predict that Foote's three volumes will be a turning point in the writing of Civil War history.

-- Burke Davis

"This first of a three-volume history of the Civil War is so good that the reader is apt to mistrust his instant and overpowering enthusiasm. If the subsequent works in the series are its equal, novelist Shelby Foote will have written one of the finest histories ever fashioned by an American."

-- Wirt Williams, Los Angeles Times

"The quality is high; the tone, cool and objective, yet lighted with excitements.... Foote's narrative style is first-rate, vivid, and refreshing. When the trilogy is completed it will most likely stand as the most thorough history of the-Civil War yet done."

-- Hudson Strode

"Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives of our century, a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters ... a stirring and stupendous synthesis of history."

-- Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News

"A great, hulking book ... great in quality as well as in size. Not only does the author achieve a wonderful breadth of coverage, he also recounts the events of the war with an impressive depth of understanding. His book is a major achievement in the literature of the Civil War: good research superbly written."

-- Richard B. Harwell, Chicago Sun Tribune -- Review --此文字指其他 kindle_edition 版本。

God I love Shelby Foote

2016年11月4日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

The Civil War Trilogy is not a project or light read, it's a commitment. The second volume is 967 pages, about 100 more than volume one. The first two have been exhaustively researched and detailed, and Mr. Foote's ability to tell a story is wonderful. This is not just a compendium of facts and troop movements, it's a real, living breathing account of the men who fought this war. From the men on the line to the generals to the presidents, you are there, you feel what they feel. The personalities are drawn with a vivid brush, you know what it's like to try to hold the factions of a country together (both sides had riots), the politics and rivalries between the generals, and what the civilians experienced.

This book is so real, so accurate, that Gettysburg, a battle that took three days, takes three days to read. I've read books on that battle that weren't this good.

I did have to take break between tomes, but I think I'm ready for volume three. The thing is, when I'm reading these books, that's what I want to do. I mean, the dishes really pile up, y'know?

Shelby gives a honest narrative.

Shelby Foote took plenty of time and effort to compose this honest narrative on a subject of great importance to any one who wants to understand not only a great conflict of political ideology but also the human condition.
From this series you will find out the actors feelings on how they felt living through this war from privates to General's to civilians.
Most importantly you can get a real grasp on how terrible and horrible war really is.

Tragedy and Hope Take Root

2017年11月25日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

With this middle volume the magnitude of the Civil War sank in. So many miles, so many men, and so many graves. The year 1863 proves to be the turning point, as this work artfully shows, and with it comes a profound sense of the tremendous cost paid, as Foote is fond of saying, to the butcher. In this installment, we see Grant emerge as the answer to Lincoln's prayers and equal in the West to Lee in the East. What is also evident that the war will end in conquest not negotiation. Among the nearly thousand pages I find myself most intrigued by Sherman, whose vision of the task at hand seems at the same time terrible and correct. I regret not having invested in learning our history sooner.

Shelby Foote's Civil War Trilogy

2015年11月4日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

I will write the same review for all three of the late Shelby Foote's three volume set history of the American Civil War.

If you saw the Ken Burns PBS series on the Civil War you saw the man with a twinkle in his eye as he told you a story about one of the many events that constituted the war. His gentlemanly charm and an occasional twinkle in his text makes for fine reading. Do keep in mind that there are different opinions about many of the topics Shelby writes. Some compare him to Bruce Catton a noted historian of a slightly earlier age who won plaudits for his tomes on the war.

But having read Catton, Foote, and others I am convinced that they have something to offer as we try to understand what really happened and why many things did happen during the course of a war where a nation fought both to stay together and to tear itself apart.

Foote's volumes are a read so be prepared for hours of enjoyment of reading the captured discource of a uniquely talented man.

Shelby Foote & the Civil War

2012年9月21日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

I have read vol. 1 and now almost done with vol. 2, and will definitely get vol.3. If you remember history classes in school, you know about certain battles, and some of the key generals, and the Presidents of the North and South. What is normally missing is details about the people, the politics, as well as the battle plans and what made them work or not work. The reason you don't normally see that detail is it is not very exciting to read about, unless you are reading a book by a great story teller. Mr. Foote manages to make you feel like you are back in that time, the battling political forces in both North and South as deadly and critical as the battles themselves. How close did we come to not having Abraham Lincoln as President, why did the South choose Jefferson Davis? The little details of what different enlisted men said or thought, the role of women in the war, all are here. Although this war was fought so many years ago, the issues of states rights and federal authority are still current in our present day politics. There could be lessons learned, if we took the time to look, and these books are an excellent way to view this period of upheaval in our country. Well done, Mr. Foote!
