Perhaps the best complete account in German of the history of the conflict between the American Southern states and the Northern states. In a very detailed and balanced way, the entire prehistory of the conflict as well as the military, political, economic, social and societal changes before and during the war are dealt with. In 1989 the author received the Pulitzer Prize for this volume.
