The Civil War: Exploring History One Week at a Time… di Dennis Gaffney
"The Seven-Day Scholar: the Civil War: Exploring History One Week at a Time", by Dennis Gaffney was an intriguing concept. In this book, the Civil War is covered in 52 weeks, each week composed of 7 days. Each week covers a specific topic, from certain battles, to people, to events to subjects like slavery or women in the war, with each of the days being a different article. Though the subjects are not covered in great depth, there is a wide breadth of topics covered, leading to the reader being the recipient of a great deal of information. Though normally I am not a proponent of "quantity over quality", in this case there is a great deal of both quantity and quality. I would recommend this book experienced civil war historians and laymen looking to gain an greater understanding of the conflict. It will have a proud place on my history shelf. In addition, there is also a passable bibliography, with links to where to find further information on each of the topics. In short, this was a highly engaging and very interesting learning experience. I look forward to the next book in the "Seven-Day Scholar" series.… (altro)
