The Civil War Generals offers an unvarnished and largely unknown window into what military generals wrote and said about each other during the Civil War era. Drawing on more than 170 sources—including the letters; diaries; and memoirs of the general officers of the Union and Confederate armies; as well as their staff officers and other prominent figures—Civil War historian Robert Girardi has compiled a valuable record of who these generals were and how they were perceived by their peers. The quotations within paint revealing pictures of the private subjects at hand and; just as often; the people writing about them—a fascinating look at the many diverse personalities of Civil War leadership.

Review
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. An excellent study and a quick read; for all its lengthBy MeaghanA very engaging and comprehensive study of Jewish children in Nazi Europe; covering pre-World War II days up until post-liberation. The book draws from a wide variety of sources; including many primary sources such as letters; diary entries; photographs; etc.; many of which I have never seen before. I highly recommend this and think it ought to have a place in any library's Holocaust collection.
