Bruce Cattons Civil War : 3 Volumes

Rating:
Summary: Catton's Trilogy on the Army of the Potomac
Review: Bruce Catton's Civil War is his trilogy (Mr. Lincoln's Army, Glory Road, A Stillness at Appomattox) about the Army of the Potomac. Eloquently written, gripping, a masterpiece of popular history. Scholars may frown at his style, but Catton had a feel for history that brings the reader right to the battlefield to smell the smoke, and hear the roar of the cannon. A must read for any Civil War reader. Highly recommended.
