Editorial Reviews

Booknews
The series provides an accessible overview for a popular audience of a war that still figures prominently in Americans' mental landscape; it emphasizes the experiences of soldiers and ordinary people on the home front as well as generals and battles. This first volume, plentifully illustrated, explores long-term sectional tensions and the immediate political crises that triggered fighting, then moves on to the campaigns and battles that took place in Virginia, Maryland, and southern Pennsylvania between May 1861 (the eve of the Battle of Bull Run) and June 1863 (following the Confederate victory at Chancellorsville).
