Our programs recognizing the Civil War Sesquicentennial continue with an appearance by two authors discussing their new book about the war’s impact on the state, ”Breaking the Heartland: The Civil War in Georgia.” The essays by these noted historians examine all aspects of life during the turbulent years 1861-1865 and demonstrate just how important a role Georgia played in the outcome of the war.
