Title: Great Overview of a Complex War
Review: Having read many civil war books and by no means an authority on the subject of the civil war "Battle Cry of Freedom" is a great read for an overview of the subject.But I must state from having also read Allan Nevins 8 volume set and Shelby Foote's three volume masterpiece of the civil war that if one is truly interested in the fine print and specifics of the war these works must also be read.Each author has their own style and content which is different in each writing. These authors James McPherson, Allan Nevins, Shelby Foote, Douglas Freeman and many others make the subject of the civil war just one outstanding discipline to study.Have enjoyed it over the years and intend to continue this pursuit of knowledge in this area.
