This is a neat old book about the Civil War. The book was published in 1976 by Press of Morningside Bookshop. The original publication was in 1961 by Bobbs Merrill, Company, Inc. The soft cover book measures 5 7/8 inches by 8 ½ inches and contains 448 pages. The cover is securely attached and shows minor signs of wear. The pages show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is near very good.

Note: The contents are quite extensive so I am listing only major sections and would be glad to answer specific questions upon request.

Contents:

Part I – Rosecrans: Gifted Eccentric
Part II – Bragg: Brusque, Prickly but “Will Fight”
Part III – Longstreet: Whirlwind in the Forest
Part IV – Thomas: Rock of Chickamauga
