Product Description

Product Description
Here is the definitive reference to the battles of the Civil War, written by Americas leading military historians and edited by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War expert James M. McPherson. This authoritative volume includes gripping eyewitness accounts plus 200 specially commissioned, full-color maps that detail all of the major campaigns and many of the smaller skirmishes of the war between the states. Maps provide a superb visual reference to troop movement, battlefield terrain, and communication lines. Dynamic reconstructions depict battles fought on land, river, and ocean, and time-line descriptions provide play-by-play commentary of the action. With more than 200 photographs and many personal accounts that vividly recount the experiences of soldiers in the fields, this book brings to life the human drama that pitted the north against the south.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeously illustrated, with some annoying flaws, 1 Jul 2008
By Geschichtsliebhaber (Oldenburg, Niedersachsen) - See all my reviews
James McPherson didn't write the 'Atlas of the Civil War'. He did, however, write introductory essays to each year of the war, as well as prologues and epilogues. They're fantastic: well-written and -argued, with lavish full-page pictures, and although there's too little reflection on certain issues (e.g. the (il)legality of secession), that's simply not the point. The rest of the atlas is also gorgeously illustrated, with highly detailed maps and well-chosen quotes. The accompanying articles, however, are inferior, especially typographically. There seems, for instance, to be no agreement as to whether a word split should be hyphenated (Con-/federate or Con/federate), and typograhpical errors also occur frequently. Apart from these minor issues, the entire atlas is great. I wish there was a little more on the civilian population and politics, but it is a work of military history, so that isn't fair
