I find it hard to believe not a single review has ever been written for this book. I find it easy to believe that reviews are systematically deleted in an effort to prevent people from learning the truth. a contemporary historian could not possibly know more about the Civil War than the people who were actually in it. those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. unfortunately
Necessary listening

Those who do not study history are destined to repeat it... It's a good thing to study the history of a contentious event from the perspectives of those in the middle of it.
