Review:

The Civil War in Georgia uses selected articles drawn from the New Georgia Encyclopedia to cover the Georgia Civil War experience and provide the latest scholarship discussing how the Civil War affected individual states. . . .A fine guide, this is a pick for any Civil War or Southern history holding.

--Midwest Book Review

That the text is so seamless is a tribute to the strong hand of project editor John C. Inscoe, Professor of History at the University of Georgia and onetime editor of the Georgia Historical Quarterly. . . . Those looking for a sophisticated, concise overview of Georgia's role in the American Civil War. . .would do well to begin here.

--The Civil War Monitor

An excellent book for anyone interested in the home front during the war.

--NYMAS Reviews

John C. Inscoe has skillfully edited and arranged seventy-three topics into three sections: 'Prelude to War, ' 'The War Years, ' and 'The War's Legacy.' The result is a valuable resource that provides concise information on major social, political, and military events from the antebellum era through Reconstruction in the 'Empire State of the South.'
