Excellent Book! Well written and great pictures. Overall quality of the book is wonderful. The author's explanation of the economic/political conflicts that led to the Civil War still reverberate today. A sobering reminder of what fear, anger and pride can do to a nation. In this large book, the author tells the military and personal stories without getting bogged down in the minute details of each battle. I've learned so much, and I'm just into 1863!

Parallels the made for TV Civil War series but provides much more detail. The series was visual but the book is factual. Once I finish the book it is my intent to view the series again. I believe that the book and the series need to be read/viewed together for the maximum benefit.
