Title: Disappointed
Review: I very much looked forward to reading Shelby's trilogy on the civil war. I am by no means a civil war expert, but read a lot of history. I've seen him on TV and enjoyed his comments. I'm usually a stickler for references but was prepared for his "narrative" approach. I have to say that he falls into the category of the historian who can't see the forest for the trees. I will say that his maps, although simple, are good- it's amazing how many historians provide useless or no maps- but there is just no context. I am surprised at all of the excellent reviews; not trying to start an argument but there is a definite art to writing history that compels and pays due diligence to the facts. Perhaps I should read more of his work but this very long work does not do that.
