THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR taken from Volume IV of Churchill's acclaimed A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH- SPEAKING PEOPLES, brings us up to the turn of the century. But Churchill's superb account of the American Civil War stands on its own. Churchill's understanding of the Civil War rivals that of our American scholars. From the first shot fired on Ft. Sumter to Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Churchill paints a picture of the time in his own elegant style and with his own unique perspective.

The Truth is Finally Revealed!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

The War for Southern Independence, ( or The War of Succession) written by Sir Winston S. Churchill should be required reading by every student in every grammar school classroom. From before 1776, Sir Winston reveals every cause and effect that took us to this most devastating 1861-1865 war. This book places United States history in perspective and will answer your questions without a contrived agenda, but based on undeniable historical facts. And, no, slavery was not the cause.

The Most Definitive Book ever written about the War of Secession

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

In 133 pages, Sir Winston Churchill's writings objectively defines every aspect that led to America's War Between the States. It's a quick read and a shame this book isn't required reading in every school classroom in our Nation. Actually, every adult interested in the cause, and who brought about this tragic waste of 640 million American lives will find all the questions answered.

He sees it in a much different way and his conclusions will amaze you.

A must read for Civil war enthusiasts. A book written by a true statesman who is not an American. He sees it in a much different way and his conclusions will amaze you.

Winnie is always a good read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2014

I loved it. I read one review that said the title should have been Praise for Robert E. Lee. Well, credit where credit is due. I think Churchill simply told it like it is. I didn't read anything here that I haven't read from other authors. This is a valuable addition to my American Civil War library.

Disappointing and superficial

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

This really is a disappointing work from a man who, for all his faults and failings as a politician, could be a superb writer of history.
