Helpful Score: 3

while military history is not my favorite, having read this book only because it was assigned, McPherson's work is perhaps the most complete account of the civil war, its causes, duration and aftermath. an essential read for those interested in the conflict, however, if it's a social history of the war you looking for, look elsewhere.
