520			_aAuthor and historian Foreman illustrates how heavily Great Britain and its citizens were involved in the American Civil War and in how many ways. Britain depended on the South for cotton and the South depended almost exclusively on the British for armament and ships--and thousands of British citizens volunteered to fight for the Union and the Confederacy. The author tells the stories of the battles, prison camps, and cities from their perspective in the form of letters, diaries, and journals.
