Summary: Civil War Researcher's Dream
Review: An excellent book to purchase whether you are an advanced Civil War researcher or a novice. I found that the book's reviews are on the mark in ranking websites that present solid information clearly, and are relatively easy to navigate as well.

Using Civil War on the Web, I discovered exceptional websites that I would have overlooked otherwise, sifting through hundreds upon hundreds of hits. I very highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know where the best information is without spending hours on the search alone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What Many Of Us Have Been Looking For
Review: Anyone who has lost themselves in the web searching for Civil War information know that the amount, quantity, and accessibility of material can, and does, fascinate and frustrate. Sites that looked promising turn into dead ends, information presented can be of dubious quality and, most of all, the sheer volume of material can consume many tedious hours. The Civil War on the Web highlights the best sites, and will save this researcher much valuable time. Civil War enthusiasts will also enjoy the authors' essays and summaries for the insight they provide on the state of scholarship today. A must for anyone curious about the war who has access to the internet!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite gift
Review: My wife got me this book for my birthday. I'm a big Civil War buff and even I found sites in this book that I never would have found otherwise. I found so much to read on the Civil War on the web through this book its like getting a 100 books (for the price of one). Plus, there is a CD that makes linking to the sites even easier. If you know someone who likes the Civil War, this is the book for them.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Scratched the surface
Review: Very well done. Logically laid out and easy to use. CD-ROM attachment is very helpful.

I found myself skipping the profiles and going straight to the sites and am disappointed that the number of sites are limited . . . of course they are only profiling the best. It does cover a very broad number of topics.

A good effort but they barely scratched the surface. I had a better time working the link lists at major sites.
