A pictorial guide to the changes in our historical views of the Civil War, curated by Gallman and Gallagher.Though these iconic photographs of the war were often included in scholarly works, the authors realized that few actually took the time to analyze the pictures themselves. This book opens a new page of considerations of the people, victims and ruins; the home front, slaves, women, guerrillas and "the Destructive War." A brilliant starting point for truly understanding the Civil War. As the authors point out, there is still much to explore. --Kirkus
