Great way to learn more about the Civil War
I brought this
book
with me on my family's last vacation because there were hours of driving to do & I'm a
Civil
War
fanatic! Although I've studied the Civil War for over 14 years I learned a lot from this book. And it kept me & my family entertained for hours! It has sections on Union & Confederate generals, battles, civilians, statistics (like anyone could ever know all those!), weapons (my favorite section!), & great chapters on the war in the east, west, south, & at sea. This is a
trivia
book that's perfect for both the novice & the historian, and it's also low-priced.

The Civil War rulz
Man, I can't imagine a better
war
than the
Civil
War. And this is one of the best
book
s on that war. This book is for all those guys who dress up on the weekend and pretend to be real soliders. These kind of guys are the best kind of guys in the world, buffs. These buffs should try playing with real ammo and real war time conditions. As a vietnam vet, I know first hand war is really hell. I have to live with this hell the rest of my life. These buffs should try a real war on for size. Peace out!
