Críticas:

A needed and authoritative study of Civil War diplomacy . . . RICHMOND DISPATCH Although foreign intervention . . . might have changed the outcome of the Civil War, comparatively little has been written about the diplomacy of the war years. Dean Mahin's well-researched book makes an important contribution to the literature . . . . -"John M. Taylor, author of DUTY FAITHFULLY PERFORMED: ROBERT E. LEE AND HIS CRITICS and WHILE CANNONS ROARED: THE CIVIL WAR BEHIND THE LINES

Reseña del editor:

One War at a Time-Lincoln's axiom for Union diplomacy-refutes the opinion of most historians and biographers that Lincoln played only a minor role in U.S. foreign relations. Rather, the book shows that Lincoln skillfully conducted a dangerous diplomatic balancing act, avoiding war with England and France while using the threat of war to prevent European recognition of Confederate independence. No other book offers such a thorough review of Union and Confederate relations with Britain. Author Dean B. Mahin also provides the first full analysis of U.S. and Confederate reactions to the French intervention in Mexico. His review of Civil War foreign policy adds a new dimension to our understanding of the great conflict.
