Description:
In his introduction to Patriotic Gore, Edmund Wilson asks, 'Has there ever been another historical crisis of the magnitude of 1861-1865 in which so many people were so articulate?' Regarded by many critics as Wilson's greatest book, Patriotic Gore more than proves the point, brilliantly portraying the vast political, spiritual, and material crisis of the Civil War as reflected in the lives and writings of some thirty representative Americans.
