Exhaustively researched and masterfully written, Foote’s epic account of the Civil War unfolds like a classic novel. \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n Includes maps throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n \"Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives…a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters.\"—Van Allen Bradley,\u003cbr\u003e\nChicago Daily News \"A stunning book full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power.

Cox,\u003cbr\u003e\nSouthern Review\u003cbr\u003e\n      Amazon.com Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1954, Shelby Foote was a young novelist with a contract to write a short history of the Civil War. It soon became clear, however, that he had undertaken a long-term project. Twenty years later Foote finally completed his massive and essential trilogy on the War Between the States. His three books are prose masterpieces with lively characterizations and gripping action. Although Foote never sacrifices the truth of what happened to his penchant for artistry, his skills as a novelist serve him well. Reading all three of these books will take some time, but they are worth the investment--especially if you, like Foote, have a touch of sympathy for the South's lost cause.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives…a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters.\"—Van Allen Bradley,\u003cbr\u003e\nChicago Daily News \"A stunning book full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power.
