Reviews

[Dan Darragh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I give this a high rating not because it's that thrilling or deep but because it's the kind of book that's likely to motivate you to really delve into the subject. The book itself is a very quick read, full of pictures of the generals, their gear and some drawings of battles. It is to Civil War history what People magazine is to a serious biography.
