Instead, "what was remarkable about Wedgwood's view of the Civil War was the way in which she depicted the sheer confusion of it all, the impossibility of co-ordinating events in three countries, once order from the centre had broken down".[2] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4447.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4447.txt
