This book juxtaposes the actions of historical figures from the American Civil War, with their own words, revealing the folly of war and the motivations behind it. By comparing statesmen's often hypocritical pre-war and wartime rhetoric, the author aims to highlight the extent to which propaganda and hubris overcame rational thought and led to widespread suffering. The author's meticulous research compiles these quotes into a forceful indictment of the violence and destruction that inevitably accompanies war, making it an insightful read for anyone interested in American history or the tragic consequences of political extremism.
