On episode 84 of <a href="https://podcast.charlescwcooke.com/episodes/episode-84-when-this-lousy-war-is-over" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast</a>, I talked to Michael Vorenberg about his new book, <a href="https://amzn.to/4hAy6FP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lincoln’s Peace: The Struggle to End the American Civil War</a>. When did the Civil War end? Why is it hard to tell? What about other wars? Does it matter that war aims can evolve over time? Can one be anti-war when slavery or the Holocaust are at stake? Are modern wars more difficult to end?
