by John S.D. Eisenhower This large 436 page volume published by Random House in 1989 is an excellent introduction to this somewhat obscure period. Written in a smooth, easy and sometimes witty style, it provides a nice overview of the war with an emphasis on the political infighting that occurred on both sides. The book is well documented with a large bibliography for additional reading. Although the book is filled with excellent maps, my main complaint is the lack of detail the author provides when describing the battles themselves. I do, however, highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the period.
