Product Information
The destruction of Atlanta is an iconic moment in American history--it was the centerpiece of 'Gone with the Wind'. But though the epic sieges of Leningrad, Stalingrad, and Berlin have all been explored in bestselling books, the one great American example has been treated only cursorily in more general histories. Marc Wortman remedies that conspicuous absence in grand fashion with 'The Bonfire', an absorbing narrative history told through the points of view of key participants both Confederate and Union. 'The Bonfire' reveals an Atlanta of unexpected paradoxes: a new mercantile city dependent on the primitive institution of slavery; governed by a pro-Union mayor, James Calhoun, whose cousin was a famous defender of the South. When he surrendered the city to General Sherman after forty-four terrible days, Calhoun was accompanied by Bob Yancey, a black slave likely the son of Union advocate Daniel Webster. Atlanta was both the last of the medieval city sieges and the first modern urban devastation. From its ashes, a new South would arise.

Reviews
James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author ofBattle Cry of Freedom "Next to Richmond, Atlanta was the most important Confederate city by 1864. Its fall in September of that year signaled the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. Among the many books about General William T. Sherman's Atlanta campaign,The Bonfirestands out for its focus on the experience of Atlantans themselves. Marc Wortman's vivid narrative proves that war is indeed hell."Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize-winning author ofThe Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher "The Bonfireis a tour de force of American Civil War history, with everything a reader could want: Extraordinary original research, vivid prose and old-fashioned suspense."Booklist "Wortman's very absorbing account of the Battle of Atlanta draws on the perspectives of individuals on both sides of the conflict and includes the story of the growth of Atlanta from a railroad junction in the late 1830s to a village in the '40s to a major metropolis by the time of the Civil War. That story is fascinating…. Atlanta was awash with contradictions."Philip Lee Williams, Michael Shaara Prize-winning author ofThe Campfire Boys "Prepare to luxuriate in gorgeous prose, first-rate scholarship, and to discover page by page why Atlanta became the city it is today…. This is one of the most important Civil War books in years. It certainly is a book that anyone who wants to understand the war or current-day Georgia or Atlanta simplymustown."Washington City Paper "A chilling narrative."Atlanta Journal-Constitution "From the lurid flames ofGone with the Windto the phoenix on the city seal, the fiery destruction of Atlanta during the Civil War occupies a central place in the city's mythology. InThe Bonfire, Marc Wortman goes beyond the legend to reveal a history that is more complicated, but no less dramatic, than anything that came from Margaret Mitchell's pen. [It] is a tale of divided loyalties, political intrigue and tremendous human suffering. Wortman's real talent lies in portraying the life of the city and its residents. His ability to create a deft, rich picture of Atlanta during this tumultuous period is what makesThe Bonfireboth invaluable history and a gripping read."Winston Groom,Wall Street Journal "An admirable account of the circumstances leading to the fall of the city.", James M.
