"So vividly does Allegiance re-create the events leading to the firing of the first shot of the Civil War on April 12, 1861, that we can feel the fabric of the Union tearing apart. It is a tense and surprising story, filled with indecisive bureaucrats, uninformed leaders, and hotheaded local politicians who surrounded some dedicated and honorable soldiers on both sides.".
"David Detzer's decade-long research on these people in this place at this time illuminates the passions that led to the fighting, the sober reflections of the man who restrained its outbreak, and the individuals on both sides who changed American history."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"In the autumn of 1860 a train rattled over the damp, mostly desolate landscape just north of Charleston, South Carolina; then, with no genteel preliminaries, it entered the outskirts of the city, pulled into a rambling station, and stopped."
