Title: Needs a copyeditor
Review: This is an ambitious book, as well as an expensive one. However, the text is appallingly full of editorial errors: There's a misspelling, dropped word, or sentence garbled to the point of incomprehensibility on nearly every page. For example, the name of the great Civil War photographer Mathew Brady is misspelled Matthew in both the text and the index. This reader nervously wondered whether the author is as careless with his facts as he is with his written English.
