Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt, 2006. Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. First edition. 8vo. Hard cover binding, 371 pp. "This fast-paced popular history of the frantic days between the attack on Fort Sumter and the Battle of Bull Run completes [David] Detzer's 'trilogy on the first hundred days of the Civil War.' The earlier titles-Allegiance and Donnybrook-were critical and commercial successes, and the latest volume should also score with critics and readers.... In the early days of the conflict, the nation's capital, geographically wedged between two states (Virginia and Maryland) considering secession, was ground zero for the aspirations and fears of a divided nation. If Washington had fallen to the Confederates in those turbulent days of 'incredible noise' - hence the title - Detzer suggests that the war would have been lost." New in new dustjacket..
Sinopsis
For two weeks in 1861, Washington, D.C., was locked in a state of panic. Would the newly formed Confederate States of America launch its first attack on the Union by capturing the nation's capital? Would Lincoln's Union fall before it had a chance to fight? Wedged between Virginia and Maryland-- two states bordering on secession--Washington was isolated; its communications lines were cut, its rail lines blocked. Newly recruited volunteers were too few and were unable to enter the city. A recently inaugurated Lincoln struggled to form a plan-- defense or attack? Intelligence rumors and incendiary headlines revealed Norfolk and Harpers Ferry fallen to rebels, and the notorious "mobtown" Baltimore ignited by riots. David Detzer pulls the drama from this pivotal moment in American history straight from the pages of diaries, letters, and newspapers. With an eye for detail and an ear for the voices of average citizens, he beautifully captures the tense, miasmic atmosphere of these first chaotic days of war.
