Reviews

[Paul Quick · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book to read while also reading a narrative of civil war battles e.g. 'Killer Angels', "Gods and Generals'. There are maps sketched in those books but not in color like this Atlas nor in such great detail. Recommend for the Reader to use this Atlas to better understand the book narratives.

A quick overview of where the major battles were fought in the Civil War. It includes maps of where and when the major battles were fought. It is great for those who missed or perhaps were never taught these important events in the Civil War.

[Garrett]

A great overview with easy to read maps and illustrations!
