Cry Havoc!: The Crooked Road to Civil War, 1861(ISBN=9780143112792) 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

　　A "compact, engrossing narrative"* that vividly reimagines the

events that led to the outbreak of the Civil War

What separates historian Nelson D. Lankford's engaging

examination of the causes of the Civil War from other books on the

subject is its willingness to consider the alternative

possibilities to history. Cry Havoc! recounts in riveting detail

the small quirks of timing, character, and place that influenced

the huge trajectory of events during eight critical weeks from

Lincoln's inauguration through the explosion at Fort Sumter and the

embattled president's response to it. It addresses the what-ifs,

the might-have-beens, and the individual personalities that played

into circumstances-a chain of indecisions and miscalculations,

influenced by swollen vanity and wishful thinking-that gave shape

to the dreadful conflict to come.

媒体评论

　　"Disturbs the time-honored march of history with a series of

provocative what- ifs."

　　-The New York Times Book Review*

　　"Captures the drama and complexity of this volatile period [and]

reminds readers that . . . events could have taken a different

path. Anyone interested in the background of our greatest national

crisis will find Cry Havoc! hugely rewarding."

　　-Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Confederate War

A "compact, engrossing narrative"* that vividly reimagines the events that led to the outbreak of the Civil War

What separates historian Nelson D. Lankford's engaging examination of the causes of the Civil War from other books on the subject is its willingness to consider the alternative possibilities to history. Cry Havoc! recounts in riveting detail the small quirks of timing, character, and place that influenced the huge trajectory of events during eight critical weeks from Lincoln's inauguration through the explosion at Fort Sumter and the embattled president's response to it. It addresses the what-ifs, the might-have-beens, and the individual personalities that played into circumstances-a chain of indecisions and miscalculations, influenced by swollen vanity and wishful thinking-that gave shape to the dreadful conflict to come.
