Title: Appalling book
Review: This is one of the worst books for kids I have ever seen. The text is OK, but the illustrations are terrible. It is done in a cartoon manner, but it makes the soldiers of the Civil War look like a bunch of buffoons. I know the idea is to appeal to young boys--but this book goes too far. On one page dead soldiers are laying in a battlefield--their butts are up in the air and they look more drunk than dead. Scenes depicting amputations are made to look humerous. This is no way to present history. Kids are already de-sensitized to violence, and this book makes it look funny. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone!
