"The greatest of our Civil War novels" (New York Times) reissued for
a new generation
As the United States prepares to commemorate the Civil War's 150th
anniversary, Plume reissues the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel widely
regarded as the most powerful ever written about our nation's bloodiest
conflict. MacKinlay Kantor's Andersonville tells the story of the
notorious Confederate Prisoner of War camp, where fifty thousand Union
soldiers were held captive--and fourteen thousand died--under inhumane
conditions. This new edition will be widely read and talked about by
Civil War buffs and readers of gripping historical fiction.
