Acclaimed historian Amanda Foreman follows the phenomenal success of
her New York Times best seller Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire with
her long-awaited second work of nonfiction: the fascinating story of
the American Civil War and the major role played by Britain and its
citizens in that epic struggle.
Even before the first rumblings of secession shook the halls of Congress,
British involvement in the coming schism was inevitable. Britain was
dependent on the South for cotton, and in turn the Confederacy relied
almost exclusively on Britain for guns, bullets, and ships. The Union
sought to block any diplomacy between the two and consistently teetered
on the brink of war with Britain. For four years the complex web of
relationships between the countries led to defeats and victories both
minute and history-making. In A World on Fire, Amanda Foreman examines
the fraught relations from multiple angles while she introduces characters
both humble and grand, bringing them to vivid life over the course of
her sweeping and brilliant narrative.
Between 1861 and 1865, thousands of British citizens volunteered for
service on both sides of the Civil War. From the first cannon blasts
on Fort Sumter to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, they served as officers
and infantrymen, sailors and nurses, blockade runners and spies. Through
personal letters, diaries, and journals, Foreman has woven together
their experiences to form a panoramic yet intimate view of the war on
the front lines, in the prison camps, and in the great cities of both
the Union and the Confederacy. Through the eyes of these brave volunteers
we see the details of the struggle for life and the great and powerful
forces that threatened to demolish a nation.
In the drawing rooms of London and the offices of Washington, on muddy
fields and aboard packed ships, Foreman reveals the decisions made,
the beliefs held and contested, and the personal triumphs and sacrifices
that ultimately led to the reunification of America. A World on Fire
is a complex and groundbreaking work that will surely cement Amanda
Foreman’s position as one of the most influential historians of our
time.
