A good whirlwind tour of the entirety of the Civil War. Covers pretty much everything regarding the war - the politics behind it, the events leading up to it, the campaigns fought, and key figures during the war. Could have been a bit more in depth in some places, but overall an excellent book that won't bore you to tears.
Infinitely readable and absorbing. Best-selling general history of the Civil War. A must-have for anyone interested in the war that divided America.
