Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. While there is no single book that could capture all the motifs of the Civil War, this book encapsulates two of the most resonant aspects of the war: the major battles and the major individuals. The first section of the book puts the great battles and campaigns of the war into the context of the surrounding events, the decisions and strategies that led up to them, the personalities involved, and the impacts that ensued. Meanwhile, the second section, the one devoted to an alphabetized directory of individuals, goes far beyond the standard list of well-known military and governmental figures and in so doing provides a glimpse into the length and depth of American society in this era of the nation's history. Profusely illustrated with more than 500 illustrations, many in full-color, and 15 valuable maps. Fine oversized hardcover in a fine, mylar covered, unclipped dust jacket. Due to the size and weight of this volume, regular domestic shipping only.
