Reviews

In a thoughtful and well-researched work that is thoroughly contextualized by references to the latest historiography, Turner investigates why so many Britons sympathized with the Confederacy during the Civil War.--Hugh Dubrulle, author of Ambivalent Nation: How Britain Imagined the American Civil War Michael J. Turner's new work brings together the prevailing trends within the study of the American Civil War in an international context while adding additional layers to our understanding.--Peter O'Connor, author of American Sectionalism in the British Mind, 1832-1863 This magisterial study of the Confederacy's British partisans reminds us that Britain had its own traditions of liberalism, democracy, nationalism, and cosmopolitanism through which it saw the conflict. This is a long-overdue corrective to less rigorous scholarship.--Duncan Andrew Campbell, author of English Public Opinion and the American Civil War
