The American Civil War was an epic conflict sweeping across the United States from the wheat fields of southern Pennsylvania to the arid deserts of New Mexico. As the southern states began to secede from the Union, military officers serving in the Regular Army struggled with the decision to serve country or state. Many of the generals from both armies were graduates of the military academy at West Point and had served together in the Indian Wars and hostilities against Mexico. They now fought against each other for four years across battlefields that ran red with their blood. Generals of the House Divided traces the history of America's greatest tragedy through the biographies of thirty generals, who each played a prominent role in the war. The book recaptures the life and times of the commanding officers in the context of their era evoking their personalities, triumphs and failures. The generals in the book were chosen for their unique contributions to the war and include many familiar names such as Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. The manuscript also contains lesser known commanders such as Wade Hampton and Henry Slocum, who each made significant achievements in the pursuit of the war for their countries.
