Bruce Catton was THE Civil War people's historian who made history accessible to all.

Rather than succumb to Herodotus's description of history as the stories of kings and battles, Catton brought life to his individual characters, made us feel who they were, spoke to us, and helped us understand this great American struggle.

Actually, this is my second reading of the book.
