The richly researched, powerfully rendered Civil War novels of Jeff Shaara and his late father, Michael, have added new depth to our understanding of the War Between the States. This work, the bounty of an extended labor of love, provides a vivid historical and practical guide to ten major Civil War battlefield sites. These sites were presented both for the military significance and their high level of preservation. In chronological order, the battle sites are Shiloh (Tennessee); Antietam (Maryland); Fredericksburg/Chancellorsville (Virginia); Gettysburg (Pennsylvania); Vicksburg (Mississippi); Chickamauga (Georgia); the Wilderness/Spotsylvania (Virginia); New Market (Virginia); Cold Harbor (Virginia); and Petersburg (Virginia).
