Product Information

For two weeks in 1861, Washington, D.C., was locked in a state of panic. Would the newly formed Confederate States of America launch its first attack on the Union by capturing the nation's capital? Would Lincoln's Union fall before it had a chance to fight? Wedged between Virginia and Maryland-two states bordering on secession-Washington was isolated; its communications lines were cut, its rail lines blocked. Newly recruited volunteers were too few and were unable to enter the city. A recently inaugurated Lincoln struggled to form a plan-defense or attack? Intelligence rumors and incendiary headlines revealed Norfolk and Harpers Ferry fallen to rebels, and the notorious "mobtown" Baltimore ignited by riots. David Detzer pulls the drama from this pivotal moment in American history straight from the pages of diaries, letters, and newspapers. With an eye for detail and an ear for the voices of average citizens, he beautifully captures the tense, miasmic atmosphere of these first chaotic days of war.

Reviews
Fast-paced popular history. Detzer has written an engaging and comprehensive account of the early days of the Civil War., This fast-paced popular history of the frantic days between the attack on Fort Sumter and the Battle of Bull Run completes Detzer's "trilogy on the first hundred days of the Civil War." The earlier titles-Allegiance and Donnybrook-were critical and commercial successes, and the latest volume should also score with critics and readers. Detzer, professor emeritus of history at Connecticut State University, combines yeoman research-in official histories of the war, contemporary newspapers, journals, diaries and personal correspondence-and gritty prose. In the early days of the conflict, the nation's capital, geographically wedged between two states (Virginia and Maryland) considering secession, was ground zero for the aspirations and fears of a divided nation. If Washington had fallen to the Confederates in those turbulent days of "incredible noise"-hence the title-Detzer suggests that the war would have been lost. At the center of the cauldron, President Lincoln struggled to get his bearings: cautious, anxious and uncertain in the beginning, but gaining confidence with time. Despite a tendency to hype potential dangers, Detzer has written an engaging and comprehensive account of the early days of the Civil War that should have wide appeal.

The result: an elegantly written book that engages from first word to last . . . First-rate history presented with great literary merit."-AMERICA'S CIVIL WAR "This is history as it should be written."-THE SEATTLE TIMES, PRAISE FOR DISSONANCE "Clear, enthralling, multifaceted history."—THE PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE PRAISE FOR DONNYBROOK "A highly readable, comprehensive, and thoughtfully written examination of a pivotal moment in our greatest national tragedy."—CIVIL WAR BOOK REVIEW, This concluding volume in a trilogy examines the opening weeks of the Civil War. With the bombardment and subsequent surrender of Fort Sumter, the illusion that the crisis engendered by secession could be solved by "reasonable" compromise was shattered. But what now? For Jefferson Davis, the wisest course seemed to be assuming a defensive posture while converting Southern state militias into a Confederate army. Lincoln was determined to resist secession, but his tools and options were limited. The army was small and concentrated west of the Mississippi. Four more states quickly seceded, and the allegiance of the border states hung in the balance. Washington, D.C., pinned between seceded Virginia and a hostile Maryland, was in danger of isolation. Detzer effectively utilizes diaries, letters, and newspaper articles to convey a sense of extreme tension as men and women, both prominent and obscure, strove to plan, cope, and even survive as a rapidly evolving situation seemed to present new challenges on a daily basis. This is an engrossing account of turbulent days. Jay FreemanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
