Davis, the author of the highly popular Don't Know Much About series, offers his latest installment, Don't Know Much About the Civil War: Everything You Need to Know About America's Greatest Conflict but Never Learned. Davis maintains the standard of excellence that sold more than one million copies in paperback alone of his previous Don't Know Much About books and put them on numerous bestseller lists. Davis brings the Civil War to life by focusing on every aspect of the war, not just the battles and dates. Using the same unique question-and-answer style that made his past books so popular, he sorts out the key events, players, and politics involved. There is a human face given to the Civil War as he defines the impact it had on American history. Davis gives personality to such historical icons as Lincoln, Lee, Grant, Sherman, and Frederick Douglass. The ongoing debate about the Civil War's origins is also analyzed. Davis demonstrates that the war was fought over slavery and explains that the other hypothetical causes were simply economic or political differences that could have been resolved without violence and war. Davis also highlights the personal views of those involved in the slavery debate. Abraham Lincoln, for example, opposed slavery but wanted to return the freed blacks to Africa; General Robert E. Lee, while not necessarily approving of slavery, allowed captured blacks to be brought back in chains. Starting with the first slaves in Jamestown, Davis covers the debate over slavery through the Mexican War and Harper's Ferry. From thefirstshots at Fort Sumter to Shiloh, Gettysburg, the Emancipation Proclamation and finally to the last days of the Confederacy and the period of Reconstruction, Davis enlightens even the most knowledgeable Civil War enthusiasts.

What was the leading cause of death among Civil War soldiers? Why did Robert E. Lee resign from the U.S. army? Which group was exempt from the Confederate draft? Whom did the Emancipation Proclamation emancipate? Was the Gettysburg Address truly written on the back of an envelope? Did General Sherman really say, "War is Hell?" If you can't answer most of these questions, you're not alone. Millions of Americans, bored by dull textbooks, are in the dark about the most significant event in American history. Too many others thought they learned it all from "Gone With the Wind." Bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis sheds light on these and other questions about America's greatest conflict in this fascinating program, providing listeners with everything they "need to know" about the Civil War. With his deft wit and unconventional style, Davis sorts out the players, the politics, and the key events. Drawing on moving eyewitness accounts of the people who lived through the war, he brings listeners into the world of the ordinary men and women who made history--the side of the story that textbooks never tell. "Don't Know Much About(R) the Civil War" explodes the myths and misconceptions about the war, its causes, and the men who fought on both sides. A brilliant crash course, it vividly brings to life Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Generals Lee and Grant, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It looks behind the battles and the tactics to the astounding human misery the war brought upon a divided nation, and includes a wealth of "hidden history," the lesser-known facts sure to fascinate even the most learned Civil War buff. Don't Know Much about the Civil War Davis, Kenneth C. Davis, the author of Don't Know Much About History, explores long-held myths and misconceptions about the battle between the North and the South.<
