Abril de 1861 a abril de 1865. Quatro anos durante os quais um povo ainda pouco unido de pouco mais de 30 milhões de almas, incluindo 4 milhões de escravos negros, se chocou continuamente, dividido em dois campos desiguais, cada um invocando sua própria definição de liberdade. Uma guerra que mobilizou 3 milhões de combatentes em um território maior que a Europa, presenciando mais de 10.000 confrontos militares separados, alguns dos quais se tornaram os pilares da memória americana, como Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam ou Gettysburg... Em muitos aspectos, é o primeiro grande conflito contemporâneo, valendo-se de todos os recursos de uma nascente modernidade industrial, envolvendo todas as forças vivas da jovem sociedade americana, que em poucas décadas passou de um conglomerado de colônias emancipadas a uma nação democrática minada por suas contradições. Com 750.000, talvez 850.000 mortos, foi de longe a guerra mais mortífera da história dos Estados Unidos, tendo provocado 160 anos de debate e controvérsia, como um eco distante mas ainda muito presente. Para entender esse cataclismo fundador, Jensen Cox finalmente oferece a tão esperada grande narrativa sobre a Guerra Civil Americana, alimentada por fontes primárias e baseada em uma impressionante bibliografia internacional.
