Negro's Civil War
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Negro people, North and South, were eloquent in word and deed in the Civil War's struggle against slavery. They spoke and wrote for its abolition; and they fought and died for it....McPherson shatters the belief that [blacks] were passive about their freedom. His evidence is telling and, what is more, it is absorbingly retold."
The New York Times
"[A] fascinating documentary narrative...The nation forgot all too soon the valor and toil of the Negro that saved the Union. McPherson's book is a splendid reminder."
Journal of Negro History
"An important, moving story...The Negro's experience during the Civil War, as expressed in his own words, has never before been available except in fragmented form."
Martin Duberman
Author of Paul Robeson
"A highly accurate and praiseworthy contribution."
The San Francisco Chronicle
