Alan Axelrod
Alan Axelrod, PhD, has written numerous books on history, business, and management topics. He's authored books on topics ranging the from the Civil War to the American Presidency, and on people ranging from Queen Elizabeth I to Harry Truman. He received his PhD in English from the University of Iowa, specializing in the literature and culture of colonial America. Previously, he taught at Furman University and Lake Forest College (IL), and has served as a consultant to a number of historical museums and cultural institutions.
This is the first book to not only select the events that most influenced the causes and outcome of America’s Civil War, but also to rank them in order of significance. In each of the book’s 20 detailed essays, author/historian/speaker Alan Axelrod presents an engaging narrative about the event, and also explains how the event shaped the course of the war, and ultimately the future of the country.
The author’s selection and ranking criteria include: Effect as cause or trigger of the war Decisiveness: whether it was a war-winning or war-losing event (both in military terms and in terms of public opinion, morale, and support) Magnitude and scope: size and cost of a battle Enduring postwar significance in American history, politics, society, culture and/or in military history and technology From Lincoln’s Inauguration, Antietam, and John Brown’s raid, to the New York draft riots and Stonewall Jackson dying as a result of friendly fire never before has the Civil War been explored quite this way. The Civil War was a violent argument between the North and the South. The purpose of this book is to start another argument about its history.
