Mightier than the Sword: and the Battle for America

â‚¬Å“Fascinating . . . a lively and perceptive cultural history.â‚¬Â â‚¬â€¢Annette Gordon-Reed, The New Yorker
In this wide-ranging, brilliantly researched work, David S. Reynolds traces the factors that made Uncle Tomâ‚¬s Cabin the most influential novel ever written by an American. Upon its 1852 publication, the novelâ‚¬s vivid depiction of slavery polarized its American readership, ultimately widening the rift that led to the Civil War. Reynolds also charts the novelâ‚¬s afterlifeâ‚¬â€¢including its adaptation into plays, films, and consumer goodsâ‚¬â€¢revealing its lasting impact on American entertainment, advertising, and race relations.
