Summary

From 1861 to 1865, the Civil War resulted in over 750,000 deaths and tested the character of the American people as no other event has before or since. Originally published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the conflict, and now redesigned and revised, this book offers a unique glimpse into the military, political, and social events of the period, and honors its heroes, from great leaders and generals to common soldiers and civilians. The beautiful boxed set includes more than 250 images, 30 stunning battle maps, an audio CD, and 40 removable items of memorabilia.
