See my review of World War II published by DK Publishing for comments about DK books. ( )

Simply beyond awesome. A massive tome with tons of information, in very readable sections, though not always in strictly chronological order. Reading this book is a major undertaking and not one which could be accomplished in a mere weekend of reading; be prepared to devote weeks of time to winding your way through the story of the Civil War. In conclusion, "The Civil War: A Visual History" does the Smithsonian proud and would be an excellent edition to any Civil War or amateur historian's reference shelf. ( )
