"This account of the first year of the Civil War is much more than a merely military chronicle in which politicians stride on and off the stage. This volume, the first of four dedicated to the War, is a study of the transformation of a nation. Dr. Nevins is supremely conscious of the chaos that faced Lincoln on inauguration day and well aware that confusion could not be finally routed before Appomattox. But the author is also positive that in the opening months of the conflict the first steps were taken to transform the loosely organized country that fretted over Bull Run into the firmly knit nation that emerged in 1865. The war was fought for a more perfect union, and this the reader is never allowed to forget. No part of the background - political or military - has been slighted. Lincoln's emergence as the master of his cabinet is given its due importance; McClellan's dilatory tactics are exposed; and so is the struggle for power in Missouri. But always present is the theme of the transformation of the nation under the stress of the conflict. The War for the Union (of which this is Volume I) is Allan Nevins' most important contribution to American history. This work is in four volumes. Each volume covers all phases of a single year of the war, and each is complete in itself. In the words of the American Historical Review: "This volume is indeed part of a great work .it is the comprehensive analysis that our time demands." - from the inner front jacket flap.
