<br/><br/> In 1861, Americans thought that the war looming on their horizon would be brief. None foresaw that they were embarking on our nation's worst calamity, a four-year bloodbath that cost the lives of more than half a million people. But as this book points out, once the dogs of war are unleashed, it is almost impossible to rein them in. This book highlights the delusions that dominated each side's thinking.
