A great story with a happy ending. Or not. Depending on how you look at it.

An excellent single-volume history of the Civil War for those that want to fill in the blanks of their education without getting bogged down in detail....its causes, its weapons, its battles, with information at the back aimed at travelers who wish to visit the battlefields they've read about and how to do it. Even a few tops tens at the end including The Ten Worst Civil War Generals. Maps, sidebars with interesting facts, index. Recommended reading.

This book is fun and explains the Civil War in terms that anyone should be able to understand. The information is shared in a nonthreatening way and there are some very interesting facts they have dug up!
