• John J. Dwyer’s new historical narrative of the Civil War sheds light on one of America’s most often misunderstood eras

Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, Sept. 28 2005 (The Religion Wire™) — With more than 530 illustrations, nearly 100 biographical sketches, and his attention-grabbing style, author John J. Dwyer has radically transformed the tedious, uninspiring textbook rendering of the Civil War into what it should be—America’s greatest epic. The War Between the States: America’s Uncivil War (Bluebonnet Press, September 2005) offers over 700 action-packed pages of war-time drama that will forever change the way Americans view the Civil War.

John Dwyer’s riveting, full color, hardcover volume of adventure will not only be greatly appreciated by students and history enthusiasts, but will attract the casual reader as well. More than just a monotonous recounting of dates, battles, and names, The War Between the States recaptures the passion, the faith, and the courage behind our country’s often misunderstood era. One of the most fascinating rosters of individuals ever found in one generation comes to life as nearly 100 vivid biographical sketches illumine the entire age and the issues that marked it.

This innovative historical narrative also features a vast gallery, years in the compiling, of more than 530 illustrations of almost every imaginable sort. Over two dozen works by John Paul Strain, who is roundly regarded as one of the greatest painters, living or dead, of American historical art, also make up the collection of exquisite artwork.

The War Between the States is divided into three, easy-to-read sections. In the beginning chapters, Dwyer offers a thorough and enlightening examination of the war’s many causes, including differing views on the Constitution, government, economics, religion, and slavery. The dramatic unfolding of the war story itself follows, where the author not only chronicles the great people, issues, and events of the war, but focuses on the important lessons and morals to be learned from them by all generations, including our own. And, in the final chapters, John Dwyer skillfully retells the extraordinary but often forgotten saga of the Reconstruction period.
