Ayers, Edward L. In the Presence of Mine Enemies: War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863
0393057860 / 9780393057867; Ayers tells his complex story with a master's touch, shifting smoothly between North and South, and between the worlds of his two counties and the wider events of the war that changed them both utterly." - Publishers Weekly. This story gives us the Civil War on an intimate scale, as a story of individuals and families, civilians and soldiers, slaves, free blacks and whites, women and men. It upends what has become the standard view of the Civil War. By taking a ground-level view of the war, Ayers shows that this was not an inevitable clash destined to rage for four years at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. The reassuring story of national unification and the destruction of slavery that we have come to embrace does not do justice to the experiences of the people who lived the Civil War. In recovering those experiences, Ayers restores the nuances to events, the mix of emotions, partial knowledge, and belief on which people acted. 471 pages including notes and an extensive index, maps and a few photographs. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
