Summary: Well written book
Comment: This is a well written book that is also fairly easy to read. Though it seems to take a pro South stance, when compared to where we came from to now, one may find that it is really a pro Union stance. The difference is that the book talks about states rights and individual liberty which seems to have been lost today.
Most people involved on the Southern side wanted a union, but wanted it to be voluntarily made up of the several states.
There is a lot of very interesting, fantastic history in this book and I would highly recommend it.

Summary: A realistic southern perspective
Comment: This book summarizes the whole breadth of the Civil War succinctly. We read that the Southern Generals were far superior to those in the North, that it took Lincoln more than 1/2 the war to find a general that fight, although bloody like a steamroller. We then read of interesting biographies of the main players in the conflict, with the noteable absence of my favorite Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, who most reecently a professor of rhetoric at Bowden College in Maine, steeled himself by reading and training to make himself a superior oolonel in charge of the 20th Maine, to hold the left side of the Union line even using a suicidal bayonet charge. He served the 3rd day with Gen Hancock repulsing Pickett's Charge, went on yo be wounded severely in Petersburg. He was mustered out and then became Governor of Maine, carrying that wound the rest of his days.

Summary: politically correct guide to the civil war
Comment: This is a well written, fast moving, interestng thesis on the civil war from a southerner's point of view. It is well worth reading, particularly if you are unreconstructed.

Summary: Really Enjoyed it
Comment: Excellent book. Unfortunantly the people who need to read it most probally won't. For those of you who are considering the book, over half of it is devoted to biographies of the Generals from both sides. The book was very "fair and balanced" on both sides. It really shows how a few small cahnges in leadership or events could have changed the shape of the World
