These journals are a fount of insights about the war, and readers will be rewarded with a new appreciation for the views of contemporary foreign observers of America's war. Readers will realize that the Europeans seemed to know more about America's \"quarrel,\" as they liked to call the war, than previously thought possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForeign observers wrote in an atmosphere of freedom, without the dangers that crippled and destroyed journalism in America. Foreign writers were not arrested and locked up; nor were foreign journals silenced by armed soldiers, mobs, or by censorship of the mails, nor were their editors hauled off to prison. Also, the American Civil War was not their struggle, and, as the reader will discover, by looking at the quarrel from a distance the foreign correspondents could see what Americans at the scene could not. A broad sweep of views running from pro-North to pro-South, with foreign writers marshalling their arguments with facts and information that had come to their attention, is presented. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong the many distinguished British journals represented are \u003ci\u003eBlackwood's Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Saturday Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMacmillan's Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Athenaeum\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cornhill Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e and two periodicals edited by Charles Dickens-\u003ci\u003eHousehold Words\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll the Year Round\u003c\/i\u003e.
