Produktbeschreibung

David M. Potter's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Impending Crisis is the definitive history of antebellum America. Potter's sweeping epic masterfully charts the chaotic forces that climaxed with the outbreak of the Civil War: westward expansion, the divisive issue of slavery, the Dred Scott decision, John Brown's uprising, the ascension of Abraham Lincoln, and the drama of Southern succession. Now available in a new edition, The Impending Crisis remains one of the most celebrated works of American historical writing. 

Kritik


"Profound and original. The Impending Crisis is history in the grand tradition." - Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review

"With a rare combination of nuance and narrative drive, David Potter... vividly portrays a nation coming apart. ... Potter writes with such immediacy that events long past feel like the present unfolding before our eyes." - Andrew Delbanco, Wall Street Journal

"Modern scholarship's most comprehensive account of the coming of the Civil War." - Lacy K. Ford, Journal of Southern History

"David M. Potter's magisterial The Impending Crisis is the single best account to date of the coming of the Civil War." - Civil War History

"The classic study of antebellum America" - American Prospect

"The magnum opus of a great American historian." - Newsweek
