American History Book Prize


Drew Gilpin Faust has won the New York Historical Society's fourth annual American History Book Prize for This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War. In a departure from other books on the topic, Faust focuses on the aftermath of the Civil War rather than the battle. This Republic of Suffering was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award.
