BOOK REVIEW: 'Terrible Swift Sword' Is Second Volume in Civil War Narrative Terrible Swift Sword, second volume of Bruce Catton’s great •“Centennial History of the Civil War,” is the Book-of-the-Month Club selection for June. In No vember, 1961, the Club sent to its members the brilliant first volume, The Coming Fury, which carried the story from the begin nings of the conflict through the first Battle of Bull Run. With Terrible Swift Sword, the pace of the narrative quick ens, as the “small war” intended i only to preserve the Union —or to assert States’ Rights- passed out of control and became the “re morseless revolutionary strug gle” that Lincoln had feared. The period covered is 1861-1862. from just after First Bull Run to Antietam and its aftermath. In terms of land battles and sea battles, portrayed with Bruce Catton’s matchless skill as a nar rative historian, the scene shifts from Missouri to Tennessee to Northern Virginia, to the coastal waters where the Monitor met the Merrimac, and to the Missis sippi River as Farragut’s fleet moved upon New Orleans. What gives the book its parti cular depth, however, is not its account of military and naval events, however vividly related, but Mr. Catton’s underlining the tragedy of the gradual discovery by both North and South that what had started as a limited struggle was fated to become an unlimited one. As Clifton Fadiman points out I in the Club’s report to its mem bers, the Civil War moves in this i volume of the “Centennial His tory” toward “the towering sym bolic deed” of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Proclamation is its great central action — not Antietam, not Pittsburg Landing, not the vacillations of McClellan, not the shift from one mediocre general to another mediocre gen eral, not the brilliant move that won for the Union 350 miles of Confederate coastline, not even the more brilliant lightning strokes of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. The climax of the volume is the bloody battle of Antietam. Char acteristically, Mr. Catton re trieves one tiny heartbreaking bit of Antietam dialogue that puts all war in final perspective. Af ter the terrible battle slaughter, a Union officer, looking down at a prostrate Mississipian said, “You fought well and stood well.” And the wounded man ans wered: “Yes, and here we lie.” Born in Michigan and now in his early 60s, Bruce Catton is the best known and probably the most widely admired historian of the Civil War. Yet he is a news paperman and editor by profes sion, and had passed the age of 50 before his first Civil War book appeared. His interest began in the 1930’s when he happened to pick up a few half-forgotten Civil War regimental histories in a second hand bookstore. In 1947, having served in World War II as direc tor of information for the War Production Board in Washington, he decided to forsake his journa listic career and try his hand at larger literary tasks. The first re sult was ‘‘The War Lords of Washington,” a book dealing with the war production effort 1941- 45. The next was an ambitious project for a Civil War novice: nothing less than a three-volume history of the Union Army of the Potomac. Volume I of the trilogy, called ‘‘Mr. Lincoln’s Army,” appeared in 1951. Volume II “Glory Road," appeared in 1952. In 1953 came Volume 111. “A Stillness at Appomattox, which won both a National Book Award and a Pu litzer Prize. Since then the Civil War has become “Mr. Catton’s War,” and there have been more than a half dozen other books including “U. S. Grant and the American Tradition” (1954), “This Hallow ed Ground” (1956) and “The Coming Fury” (1961). EVERY BITE?
