In the spring of 1861, as the American Civil War erupted, the city of Charleston, South Carolina, found itself at the center of the conflict. A major port city and the birthplace of secession, Charleston was a strategic target for both the Union and the Confederacy.

The Union quickly blockaded the city, cutting off its supplies and trade. But the city's defenders, led by General P.G.T. Beauregard, were determined to hold out. For two years, the city endured a relentless siege, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

In House Divided, award-winning historian David Duncan tells the gripping story of the siege of Charleston. Duncan draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and newspapers, to recreate the daily life of the city's inhabitants during the war. He also provides a detailed account of the military operations, from the initial bombardment of Fort Sumter to the final surrender of the city.

House Divided is a must-read for anyone interested in the American Civil War. Duncan's vivid writing and meticulous research bring the siege of Charleston to life, offering a unique perspective on one of the most important battles of the war.
