The Presidents War Six American Presidents and the Civil War that divided them by Chris DeRose.
For the first time, readers will experience Americas gravest crisis through the eyes of the five former presidents who lived it. Author and historian Chris DeRose chronicles historys most epic Presidential Royal Rumble, which culminated in a multi-front effort against Lincolns reelection bid, but not before:
* John Tyler engaged in shuttle diplomacy between President Buchanan and the new Confederate Government. He chaired the Peace Convention of 1861, the last great hope for a political resolution to the crisis. When it failed, Tyler joined the Virginia Secession Convention, voted to leave the Union, and won election to the Confederate Congress.
* Van Buren, who had schemed to deny Lincoln the presidency, supported him in his efforts after Fort Sumter, and thwarted Franklin Pierce's attempt at a meeting of the ex-Presidents to undermine Lincoln.
