American Oracle: The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era
American Oracle The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era Author:David W. Blight David Blight takes his readers back to the Civil War's centennial celebration to determine how Americans made sense of the suffering, loss, and liberation a century earlier. He shows how four of America's most incisive writers-Robert Penn Warren, Bruce Catton, Edmund Wilson, and James Baldwin-explored the gulf between remembrance and reality.
