Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-12 00:00:00 Richard Silva this is a second in a Civil War Trilogy I am reading which also includes "1861: The Civil War Awakening" Adam Goodheart and "April 1865: The Month That Saved America" by Jay Winik. This book was similar to 1861, but I enjoyed the earlier one better perhaps because it is not such well-known history (Gettysburg, Vicksburg) and I just struggle to connect with battle descriptions. But overall this was a great book & I do love books that have a set scope of one year. Looking forward to the next book and the end of the war!

Review # 2 was written on 2008-07-25 00:00:00 Dee Harrington I picked this up because I couldn't find anything in the new fiction/non-fiction that appealed to me. That being said, it was really engaging and well written. The focus on the east was on G-burg, which if you review my list I spent a lot of time on last year. But, it had really fresh information about the Western battles and incorporated some wonderful historical factoids that make me more prepared for Jeopardy.
