Join us for a talk by and Q&A with Dr. Yael Sternhell (Tel Aviv University) on her latest book, War on Record: The Archive and Afterlife of the of the Civil War

Sternhell’s new book examines the creation of The War of the Rebellion: The Official Records of the Union and the Confederate Armies. Known as the OR, scholars and citizens considered this collection of documents to be the defining source for the study of the Civil War. In War on Record, Sternhell looks at who decided what to include and exclude, and how these records shaped and mis-shaped Americans’ understanding of the Civil War.
