Taking us behind the scenes in the White House, along the battlefronts in Virginia, and into the conspiracies of spies and secret agents, Lincoln walks these pages, as do Grant and Sherman. But so do common soldiers, runaway slaves, and an unknown but intrepid female war correspondent named Lois Adams. Rarely, if ever, has a book about the Civil War featured such a rich and diverse cast of characters."  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/25c0efb0-cf2b-11f0-9ef1-edd14f9595b8-rimg-w1200-h173-dc000000-gmir.png
