William Bruce Johnson combines thorough research with a litigator's analysis and a storyteller's eye for meaningful detail to construct a new narrative of the Fort Sumter crisis, culminating in a new theory of why the Civil War began as it did, and how, if the new president's orders had been properly carried out, it might have been averted.
