A World on Fire tells, with extraordinary sweep, one of the least known great stories of British and American history. From embassy balls to bloody battlefields, Amanda Foreman brings to life the people who were swept up in the American Civil War: generals, statesmen, society hostesses, spies, diplomats, nurses, journalists and adventurers, as well as ordinary soldiers fighting for both North and South. It is an unforgettable saga of huge personalities, tense diplomacy and torn loyalties.
