It was a great book!!! we went to gettysburg and the book helped to figure out the lay out and why things happened.

This is the greatest civil war paperback that I have ever read. It is printed in very readable type size and has some illustrations. The book is also nicely sized. It is an enormous treasure of civil war information. One can quickly read this book and it is so well chaptered, it can be referenced quickly for specific data. I highly recommend it.

I have always been interested in war history, mainly WWII and have read much on that subject but had never read anything on The Civil War. As of late I decided to read some books on the subject and this book was given to me for Christmas. This is a wonderful book in that it gives the reader a complete, precise fact filled overview of the war. It is easy to read and move through ( I finished it in 2 days) and lays the groundwork for the reader to move on to a deeper study of the subject with this as the foundation. Highly recommend!

This is a fun, fact-filled overview of the Civil War. Highlights include biographies of the major political and military participants, and a fascinating glimpse at mid-century America. Vaughan has definitely done his homework -- this is a wonderful read, accurate and loaded with little known facts and intriguing minutae. A must for Civil War aficianados and history buffs in general.
