Lots of tedious information about the various churches and pastors in the Washington D.C. area; goes into way too much detail; maybe he wrote his Ph.D thesis on these various churches. He also doesn't specify which newspaper he is quoting; it is always a New York newspaper; or a St. Louis newspaper; or a Memphis newspaper. Don't these newspapers have names? Strange.An interesting book could have been much better; I would have to say I am disappointed with the book.17 of 19 people found the following review helpful.

People and circumstances affecting last attempt to stop Civil War.By 61august15Fascinating. Humorous. Compelling. Gripping. An historical account for the layperson and history buff (come on it is not meant to be a textbook; there are plenty of those). This is a serious overview of the people and influences that determine the outcome of serious political conventions. It is a "can't put it down" account of those circumstances and people that influence the outcomes of history. Friendships. Loyalties. Faith. Background. Home state. All play huge roles in making people and shaping events. This book offers gripping insights into the interplay of all those factors in one very significant historical attempt to stop a bloody Civil War.
