Title: Easy to read Civil War history.
Review: I bought the abridged version here instead of the two - volume set. This book was great! The chapters were fairly short and McPherson's writing style is easy to read. It was an "optional" book for a course I took in college and I'm glad I bought it. It focuses on the social and political aspects of the Civil War as much as the battles. I really like that. It begins with politics in the election of 1860 and ends with Reconstruction. When it does discuss battles, it has maps to show you the various stages and days visually. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the Civil War, including historians, students, and History teachers.
