Title: Guide for a new generation of the curious
Review: Somewhat ashamedly I admit that I sought out a single volume guide to the Civil War after watching the movie Lincoln. I am glad I picked this book. There is no question that McPherson is a leading, authoritative expert in this calamity that still echoes through the ages today. We are not so far removed from the polarization and extremism that split this country apart before, and Battle Cry of Freedom is crucial for understanding that period in our history, and in seeing the peril in our present.
