It soon became clear, however, that he had undertaken a long-term project. Twenty years later Foote finally completed his massive and essential trilogy on the War Between the States. His three books are prose masterpieces with lively characterizations and gripping action. Although Foote never sacrifices the truth of what happened to his penchant for artistry, his skills as a novelist serve him well. Reading all three of these books will take some time, but they are worth the investment--especially if you, like Foote, have a touch of sympathy for the South's lost cause. 6863999 12 11 1986 The Civil War: A Narrative--Fort Sumter to Perryville, Vol. 1 total:211|5:17|4:4|3:2|2:1|1:0| 211 930 323 34 5 1 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 08 13:27:15 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 20 17:44:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 06 15:24:07 -0800 2008 Fri Aug 08 00:10:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 03 12:31:44 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 03 12:31:46 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 16:58:20 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 06:39:48 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Aug 15 11:35:02 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 17 13:31:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 08:41:17 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 08:48:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 18:47:46 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 19:00:05 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Wed Nov 28 07:30:37 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 28 15:37:27 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Apr 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jan 08 05:08:37 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 25 14:17:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Oct 18 14:34:46 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 28 16:00:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 11:31:26 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 11:32:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 05:18:56 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 05:19:36 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 22 11:57:18 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 17:46:19 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jan 07 11:26:40 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 27 17:20:26 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 27 17:31:35 -0800 2007
