The Cannons Roar

Fort Sumter - everyone knows this as the beginning of the American Civil War. But there was more than just the Confederate government deciding to fire on the fort. There were months negotiations, and a lot of different opinions on the matter.

Bruce Chadwick walks through what led up to the firing on Fort Sumter, and the beginning shots of the war. This was well done and easily laid out, with plenty of quotes and documented items throughout the book.
Highly enjoyable read!
