The latest volume in this highly praised series is now ready
In characteristically detailed and revealing style, the authors examine the very birth of the American Civil War (a prelude to a more detailed study of Stonewall Jackson to come), pointing out the huge possibilities that First Bull Run offers because of its nature as an encounter between amateur armies led by inexperienced officers. As with their Gettysburg study, this volume is more than that. It is as good a study of the historic battle as you will find, and in the nature of this series, it is peppered with mouth-watering color photographs (including a whole chapter on the battlefield today) and stunningly good maps, not to mention detailed orders of battle.
