This great struggle : America's Civil War

Steven Woodworth. Woodworth displays his vast knowledge of Civil War military history in this sprightly march through the run-up to the war, the fighting, and the war's immediate aftermath. He provides an unabashedly guns-and-battle account, emphasizing strategy and individual actions but not the politics or economic, social, and cultural factors affecting and being affected by the war. His descriptions of the generals and their tactics are sure-handed, and his command of action complete and compelling. --Booklist (Check Catalog)
