From the publisher: "Summer started the greatest war this land ever knew. It had far more causative significance than Pearl Harbor. It was not a point selected for surprise attack. It represented the North-South quarrel in miniature, and the crisis sizzled there for months, gradually gaining intensity until the explosion came. ' Here, in Mr. Swanberg's words, are the chief reasons for his book, and for the care with which he has explored his subject. He tells the story of one of the truly extraordinary episodes in American military history, a half year of mounting tension that broke into actual war with the surrender of the fort. " ; 373 pages .
