Journalistic History, 2 May 2005
By D. Gibbons "general reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: FIGHTING WORDS: An Illustrated History of Newspaper Accounts of the Civil War (Hardcover)
Andrew Coopersmith's Fighting Words is an eminent work of exquisite scholarship. The book is beautifully presented and a welcome addition to my personal library. I recommend it to the general reader for its unique approach to difficult subject. There are many books on the market which tell the story of the Civil War over and over again. They tend to look alike. This book is like no other in the field. The average reader will enjoy the read far more than he may have expected and will quite simply be amazed at the presentation and encouraged toward further reading and understanding of the conflict.
Serious students of the Civil War will find ample material for their own research. History Departments at all levels will find it an excellent text. My highest recommendation, however, is that every School of Journalism should incorporate Fighting Words as a prime text in the study of the impact of journalism on society. The NEWSEUM should look into a presentation of Fighting Words when it opens its new headquarters in Washington, D.C.

An excellent book, 3 May 2005
By F. Halloway - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: FIGHTING WORDS: An Illustrated History of Newspaper Accounts of the Civil War (Hardcover)
I was really impressed with this book. I think it will appeal to a broad range of people; those with general curiosity about war, and those "history buffs" who want to delve even deeper into fascinating documents they probably have never seen before. Not only are the illustrations interesting and unique, but they are beautifully presented. As a middle school teacher, I would encourage students to use Dr. Coopersmith's book as a resource mostly because it is timely, complete and compelling. Moreover, his coverage of both the Union and of Confederacy is thorough and accurate. An excellent book, indeed.

A Wonderful Tool for Serious Students of the Civil War, 12 April 2005
By SBrookland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: FIGHTING WORDS: An Illustrated History of Newspaper Accounts of the Civil War (Hardcover)
I purchased this book as a reference book for my high school freshman and senior to use for freshman American History and Advanced Placement American History. Both classes study the Civil War in depth. Not only is this book helpful as a reference book but it is also interesting as a "coffee table" book. The book is clearly written and offers a unique perspective. It has become a permenent fixture on our coffee table. Thanks for giving us something to talk about.
