ere thinking from both sides of the issues. Also Klein would focus on certain people throughout the book. I also like this technique because it gives you good insight into that person’s thoughts and feelings on a topic. Klein shows no prejudice towards either side. He doesn’t side with any one either. The sources of information, especially the quotations, are used very well. I think this book would be better to read than others on the subject for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons are Klein gives good insight into the people of the times by focusing on their actions and also by using quotes. Also Klein specializes in this period of American history so he knows a great deal about this subject matter. Klein fulfills my expectations by writing a very accurate, detailed, and interesting account of the events leading to the Civil War. I think this book is valuable to anyone who would want to learn about the Civil War and it’s causes, especially secession. This book paid a lot of attention to secession. Also anyone interested in Abraham Lincoln because Klein gave a good insight into Lincoln during his first few months of his presidency. This book has more permanent issues because it shows us the mistake we made with the Civil War. It also teaches us not to make the same mistakes by learning from our earlier mistakes. I think this book should be recommended over other books on the subject because Klein did a very good job of writing this book. I agree with others that this is a very good book on the causes of the Civil War. Overall I think this book is very interesting and well written book that I learned a lot from....
