The Pictorial History Of The American Civil War (1988) By Jeremy Barnes

 

In the hundred years between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the onset of World War I, the most cataclysmic military conflict fought throughout the entire world was the American Civil War. The War Between the States cost more American lives in the course of its four horrible years than the two World Wars, Korea and Vietnam combined. This comprehensive pictorial account documents the land and sea campaigns of this awesome war, relating them in graphic narration and maps. Key events appear in their political and diplomatic contexts, and major personalities of the time emerge large-as-life. The differences between North and South and the political climate which led to the secession of the South are here re-created. Both sides expected a speedy end to the war and anticipated their moments of honor and glory. A quick skirmish, a few swift victories and the war would be over. Little did they realize the death, destruction and bitter fighting which lay ahead. The passions of a nation divided against itself would be quelled only at great cost. From the first firing of guns at Fort Sumter to the ultimate surrender of the South, The Pictorial History of the Civil War is richly illustrated with many contemporary engravings and rare photographs as well as many color illustrations and maps. This book is a must for every Civil War buff.
