The Civil War A Narrative Pea Ridge to The Seven Days is subtitled War Means Fighting and Fighting Means Killing. Originally published in 1958, The Civil War a Narrative by Shelby Foote is an acclaimed narrative of The Civil War. The history is told by the people involved using detailed research, diaries, archives and more. It was part of the author's original publication The Civil War A Narrative which published in 1958 as a nine volume series.
This volume opens with Confederate disappointments - the Battle of Pea Ridge and Sibley's retreat in the West. The devastation at Shiloh and the Battle of New Orleans that follow bring new levels of casualties and devastation. Unrest in the South threatens Davis' presidency and Lincoln is clashing over strategy with his generals. Battles such at the Seven Days further escalate the war.
