One really must admire Harvey’s achievement in this sourcebook. With just 350 passages (more than half of them consisting of Latin inscriptions; from all over Rome’s empire); Harvey manages to give his readers a real sense of Roman private values and behaviors. His translations of the original texts are superb—both accurate and elegant. And he contextualizes his chosen passages with a series of remarkably economical but solidly reliable introductions. In a word; Harvey’s sourcebook strikes me as the best now available for a single-semester undergraduate course. —T. Corey Brennan; Rutgers University–New Brunswick

Mort Kuntsler; Dean of Civil war artBy Mike E.Mort Kunster's Civil War art is like color photographs of history. He brings character and life to every scene; and invokes deep reverence for the men who fought on both sides; bringing out their inherent humanity. Highly recommended for not only Civil War enthusiasts but for students of history and devotees of great artwork.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Little GemBy Steven RSmall; compact book; but well presented with detailed close-ups of several paintings. Nice text by Kunstler with background information about each painting. Early volumes have a LOT about Lee; Jackson; and the Virginia sites and personalities depicted.
