The American Civil War 365 Days
Ranked #15,798 in Culture & Society, #315,295 overall
My Review of the Book
This weighty book would make a good doorstop, that is if you could tear yourself away from it long enough to use it in that way. What I'm saying is, there is a lot of history packed into this book. Great for dipping into and browsing, but also handy as a reference tool when you check the index.
The American Civil War 365 Days is a book that Civil War buffs and those with a casual interest will enjoy browsing.

"I added this to my classroom civil war collection as soon as I saw finished reading it. Recommended. " (review by Evan McMillan)
"Excellent information and photos." (review by G.J. Durst)
"The division of the book into topics helped me analyze different general aspects of conflict and concern at the time, and the phenomenal selection of photos, maps, drawings, cartoons humanized the time period and the war itself and made it very real. I borrowed the book from the library, couldn't put it down, rushed right out and bought it." (review by nsx12 on Amazon)

It was great for browsing, but when I checked the index for a specific topic, it often wasn't there. It would not be my #1 source for reference on the Civil War.
