About this title

From Library Journal:

Another book on the War Between the States? Yes, and a fine one it is, too. Anders combines numerous sources to produce a marvelous and manageable single-volume history of the Civil War, with easy-to-use maps. Relations between the presidents of both sides and their respective generals are emphasized. Almost half the book involves the puzzling George McClellan, who, with his "slows" and constant exaggeration of Lee's forces, may have been the South's best friend in the Union. We also see just how good Lee really was, taking incredible chances in the face of great odds and succeeding, and how Grant's notion of "hit hard, hit fast, and keep on hitting" increased the casualty lists in the Union to little effect in the war. Essential.
