Synopsis
The American Civil War remains the nation's central national epic, having changed the fledgling "Union" into the "United States". The scars of that devastating internecine conflict of a century and a quarter ago have long since disappeared, but there remains a seemingly insatiable desire to learn more of the circumstances and the detail of the war. This beautifully illustrated book provides that detail in respect of the weapons and equipment of the 10,000 engagements of the conflict. The book has features on the infantry, cavalry and artillery. Uniforms and equipment relating to both officers and other ranks will be included. Military medicine, camp life, musicians and prisoners of war are also featured. There is also a chapter on the naval forces that fought the war at sea. The authoritative text will be accompanied by period photos and drawings. There will also be an impressive series of colour photographs showing surviving examples of rare uniforms, insignia, personal equipment and weaponry. This book will appeal to anyone interested in military history, military modelling, and historic weapons enthusiasts.
