Inside The Civil War


(5 Sterne)

Excellent history with great insight into the Generals and how they fought, thought and their personalities. Charles A Dana had taken great and many passages to his involvement with Lincoln, Secretary Stanton , the Generals and every battle in the West. Grant has his foibles yet was a great General with organization understanding battlefields and was a strategic genius.

Excellent text, however, does require a good knowledge of the Civil War and the top players on both sides.
