This is the third book in the trilogy of the Army of the Potomac. Bruce Catton writes like no other about the American Civil War. His insight makes you believe he was there, that he lived through it, coming from his years of listening to the veterans in his hometown. And though he is a Yankee, he strives very hard to be impartial. He tries to be impartial, but perhaps surprisingly I sense an admiration for the colorful soldiers of the South slipping into the texture of his prose. I know it has been fashionable for many of the newer voices in the field to garner attention. However, if you really want a view of the War Between the States that is more like a visit with a time machine, then you must imbibe the genius of Catton.
