Praise for this book
Series Review: The Civil War Essential Histories"These outstanding British imports offer clear, understandable coverage. Although primarily focused on military history, the books also discuss the relative strengths of the Union and Confederacy sides and the war's causes and economic and political consequences. Average-quality black-and-white photos and superior full-color campaign and battle maps are pluses, and this edition's new end matter provides American bibliographic references. The authors maintain a detachment that allows a highly objective analysis of leadership and actions. Valuable for reports and readable enough to recommend to Civil War buffs, this set deserves a place in all secondary libraries."--School Library JournalSeries Review: "Nicely illustrated with period photos, illustrations, and maps, this is a good, solid series that will provide a comprehensive overview of the Civil War for high school students."
