Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
The American Civil War stands at the center of the story, its military history and the drama of emancipation the highlights. Taylor relies on vivid characters to carry the story, from Joseph Hooker, whose timidity in crisis was exploited by Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson in the Union defeat at Chancellorsville, to Martin Delany and Mary Ann Shadd Cary, Black abolitionists whose critical work in Canada and the United States advanced emancipation and the enrollment of Black soldiers in Union armies.

I'm a huge history nerd but whenever I've read books on the US Civil War it's always been focused entirely on the US without any discussion kd how the war affected other countries and how other countries affected the US. This is one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time.
