Review title: A good informative read
Product review: When I bought this book I thought there isn't much this guy can tell me about this end of the war. I have for many years felt the Western theater was neglected and this work really caught my eye. I was wrong. I learned a lot from this book and its very well educated author. And it is an Oxford Preess book which puts it high on my list.If it is well done there is hardly an aspect of the Civil War that is more easily made fascinating than the Missouri problems. The guerrilla war is interesting by itself and when history is well written it becomes fascinating. The characterization makes this read like a novel, but one thoroughly researched. The trick in writing history is not only researching, but making the end result palatable to as many readers as possible. This work succeeds. I recomend this to any lever reader who is interested in the Civil War, American history, or just wants a good read.
