"The single most important volume for anyone interested in the
Civil War to own and consult." From the foreword by James M.
McPherson The first guide to Civil War literature to appear in
nearly 30 years, this book provides the most comprehensive,
up-to-date, and informative survey and analysis of the vast body of
Civil War literature. More than 40 essays, each by a specialist in
a particular subfield of Civil War history, offer unmatched
thoroughness and discerning assessments of each work's value. The
essays cover every aspect of the war from strategy, tactics, and
battles to logistics, intelligence, supply, and prisoner-of-war
camps, from generals and admirals to the men in the ranks, from the
Atlantic to the Far West, from fighting fronts to the home front.
Some sections cover civilian leaders, the economy, and foreign
policy, while others deal with the causes of war and aspects of
Reconstruction, including the African-American experience during
and after the war. Breadth of topics is matched by breadth of
genres covered. Essays discuss surveys of the war, general
reference works, published and unpublished papers, diaries and
letters, as well as the vast body of monographic literature,
including books, dissertations, and articles. Genealogical sources,
historical fiction, and video and audio recordings also receive
attention. Students of the American Civil War will find this work
an indispensable gateway and guide to the enormous body of
information on America's pivotal experience.
