This new edition of the definitive guide to Civil War battlefields is really a completely new book. While the first edition covered 60 major battlefields; from Fort Sumter to Appomattox; the second covers all of the 384 designated as the "principal battlefields" in the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report. As in the first edition; the essays are authoritative and concise; written by such leading historians as James M. McPherson; Stephen W. Sears; Edwin C. Bearss; James I. Robinson; Jr.; and Gary W. Gallager. The second edition also features 83 new four-color maps covering the most important battles. The Civil War Battlefield Guide is an essential reference for anyone interested in the Civil War.

Limited IdentityBy AnonymousGeovese's account of American slavery encompasses many aspects of daily life; and is praiseworthy for its attempt to establish the agency of enslaved individuals in shaping their own identity within the confines of their social condition. In particular; I appreciated the chapter on selecting names. However; despite being a work of ground-braking scholarship; Genovese's work remains limited. Although; Genevese pays attention to the variety and variances in slave life; too often his history seems to be floating without anchor in time and place; as if the condition of slavery was consistent and unchanged through its existence in America and in all regions. Likewise; his interpretation is focused through the lens of paternalism; which limits the motivations of both the slaves and slave owner's actions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
