      Starred review from October 15, 2011

      In a handily sized volume dense with details and deep with information but never lacking readability or narrative flow, Graham (former associate editor, Blue & Gray magazine) provides snapshots of Civil War detail from soldiers' uniforms and how they spent their day to key battles, prisons, and fascinating characters. Organized chronologically, the immense amount of information is made even more attractive through the illustrations, maps, innumerable charts, and sidebars, not to mention a quiz after each section. VERDICT Concise and jam-packed but still leavening history--as the best teachers do--by projecting a sense of curiosity with aplomb. Good for both the pop-in or a longer stay. Highly recommended.--Ben Malczewski, Ypsilanti Dist. Lib., MI
