Civil War

by Michael Golay, John Stewart Bowman

America's bloodiest war was fought, not against a foreign enemy, but family against family, brother against brother, North versus South. After five long years of battlefield carnage, the institution of slavery was finally abolished and the Union preserved. In the process, many of America's now legendary figures rose to prominence President Abraham Lincoln and Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee among them. Here in the full-color Civil War, Revised Edition, all of the human conflicts of that war, both political and military, on land and at sea, are described in vivid and sometimes harrowing detail. Readers will also gain an understanding of the military tactics and innovative equipment used during battle.

[Bo Manuszak]

It was a book with a lot of information about the Civil War. It was very in detail, had pictures, and also had representations about battle plans. If you like to learn about the history of America or The Civil War I recommend this book. It had many visuals and was easy to understand. There is unfortunately no timeline. It also showed the hardships that some soldiers had and told you how people were recruited for the Confederate and Union armies.
