Hymns of the Republic: The Story of the Final Year of the American Civil War

The final year of the Civil War shaped the America we know today. Hymns of the Republic: The Story of the Final Year of the American Civil War (Scribner), latest release of Pulitzer Prize finalist S. C. Gwynne ’74, tells the dramatic story of Lincoln’s fight for reelection and subsequent assassination and offers a deep analysis of two figureheads, Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, as they clash and careen towards the end of the war.
