The illustrations pull you deeper into the personal history of historic events; and they manage to fool your senses into believing you might actually be there. My eyes lingered on them; and I found myself flipping back to previous panels to review them for subtleties I missed the first time.I teach middle school history; and I've been yearning for a book that would dare to cover the scope and breadth of the American Civil War. The authors have written a page turning graphic novel that will appeal to all ages; and will grip even those with a brief knowledge of U.S. history.This should be on the reading list of every American history class; and in the library of every school in the country. The history is first rate.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A beautiful and affecting bookBy Samuel AnthonyA beautiful and affecting book. The civil war is; at least to me; deeply familiar; but this book focuses on the personal; and conveys with a painful immediacy the ways that the horror of this conflict infiltrated and transformed the day-to-day existence of our not-so-distant ancestors. I was struck as I have never been before by the degree to which the appalling; unprecedented violence of the conflict was "just around the corner" for familiar and modern-seeming Americans.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Love this bookBy P.C.Love this book! Super entertaining. It doesnt provide a detailed account of yhe events of the American Civil War; but it gives you the important parts of the war and illustrates them. Really great to read. I needed it for a class and I could have borrowed it from a friend; but I found it here for a great price and I don't regret buying it.
