"Well-written short (~280 pages) introduction to the Civil War, hits on all the important points with enough supporting detail. Obviously won't give you the detail that Battle Cry of Freedom or Foote's 3-volume opus will, but its succinctness makes it easier to track the concurrent happenings of the war (it's tough to remember what Grant's army had done last after 100 pages of reading what's happening in Virginia). The scholarship is a little behind the times (since it was written 50 years ago), but there didn't appear to be any egregious errors in it.
Even after you've graduated to McPherson or Foote, the book is handy to keep around for its chronology (which is indexed!) and maps. Ultimately, though, if you have any significant interest in the Civil War the book will leave you wanting much more."
"I will start my summer class next week (7/27)
and found the book an easy read and very interseting so far. The condition of the book I received was in excellent conditionand the service was prompt.Thank You"
"There is a lot that happens in the Civil War. So, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that this good, solid overview of the conflict does not go much into the details of the numerous battles - even Gettysburg. I appreciated that the book addresses nearly all aspects of the war: social, political, military, economic, etc. I bought this as an audio book - I think it will be a good one to go back and listen to again from time to time."
