Summary

"This is a historical account including first-person views, of the roles played by five men during six crucial days in 1861 who vied to control the communication links to Washington. These events encapsulate the complexity of motives and logistics, and the mixed shifting loyalties, that characterized much of the Civil War"--Provided by publisher.
