Title: A Great Story Gone Bad
Product review: Robert Leckie has managed to take a great and fascinating time in American history and turn it into a thoroughly pedestrian affair. Leckie conveys little of the excitement and interest of the times and is rather short on facts, as well. In fact, too often he seems more interested in venting his curmudgeonly opinions about such irrelevant matters as women in today's armed forces. As if the poor quality of the writing weren't detriment enough, the proof reading job on the volume is abysmal, the maps are inadequate, and there are few illustrations (although many are available) to convey the color of the times. A very disappointing volume.
