What People are Saying About This

Bertram Wyatt-Brown

Readers of 'Heaven Will Frown on Such a Cause as This' will find a fresh and perceptive approach to the tragedy of the Civil War. Cowden does not treat the Confederates, the external foe, but instead the hierarchies within the Union itself. What we learn from her penetrating examination is the poignancy about lives lost long ago. We perceive their backward-looking rationale for leaving things as they were.
