Foote's comprehensive history of the Civil War includes three
compelling volumes: Fort Sumter to Perryville, Fredericksburg to
Meridian, and Red River to Appomattox. Collected together in a
handsome boxed set, this is the perfect gift for any Civil War
buff.
Fort Sumter to Perryville
"Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives
of our century, a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must
be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters." --Van Allen Bradley,
"Chicago Daily News"
"Anyone who wants to relive the Civil War, as thousands of
Americans apparently do, will go through this volume with
pleasure.... Years from now, Foote's monumental narrative most
likely will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its
kind." --"New York Herald Tribune Book Review
"
Fredericksburg to Meridian"
""This, then, is narrative history--a kind of history that goes
back to an older literary tradition.... The writing is superb...one
of the historical and literary achievements of our time." --"The
Washington Post Book World"
"Gettysburg...is described with such meticulous attention to
action, terrain, time, and the characters of the various commanders
that I understand, at last, what happened in that battle.... Mr.
Foote has an acute sense of the relative importance of events and a
novelist's skill in directing the reader's attention to the men and
the episodes that will influence the course of the whole war,
without omitting items which are of momentary interest. His
organization of facts could hardly be bettered." --"Atlantic"
Red River to Appomattox
"An unparalleled achievement, an American "Iliad," a unique work
uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability
of the first-class novelist." --Walker Percy
"I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable
account of the savage battling between Grant's and Lee's armies....
Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most
Southern commentators, he does not take sides. In objectivity, in
range, in mastery of detail in beauty of language and feeling for
the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the
subject.... It stands alongside the work of the best of them."
--"New Republic"
