Whether you refer to it as the Late Unpleasantness, The War for Southern Freedom, or any of the other names that Civil War 101 lists for it, this mid-nineteenth -century conflict has spawned all manner of myth and facts you didn't learn in high school. With tantalizing trivia like "Nine Drinking Stories Involving General Ulysses S. Grant," "Five Famous Female Spies," and "Eleven Medical Complaints of Stonewall Jackson," plus historic photos and engravings, even the most diehard Civil War buff—from academic historian to modern-day reenactor—is sure to pick up some fresh new details about this terrible war.

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: Great book. Full of information. My husband, a huge Civil War Buff, absolutely loves this book!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: fascinating reading
Comment: I enjoyed the information that some might find trivial, but it gave me a great background on the generally unpublished research.Where else would you find the costs of war in dollars,the female spies, for both sides, the list of Generals and where they ended up after the war etc:. It doesn't just finish at the end of the war.
