Maggiori informazioni sul libro
More than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. In <i> <b>This Republic of Suffering</b> </i>, Drew Gilpin Faust reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation, describing how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality.
