Summary: Where's Grant?
Review: I found this book and was ready to purchase it when I realized there were no photos of Ulysses Grant in it. I couldn't believe it, so I checked the index. I was stunned. He is not even listed in the index! Can someone please explain to me what is going on here? Otherwise, the photos are amazing....

Summary: the story told thru its pictures
Review: This two-volume work is the monumental collection of pictures of the american civil war. In total approx. 1800 pages shows us the soldiers from privates to generals and pictures from the battlefield, taken just a few hours after bitter fighting took place. The pictures also covers the citys and houses as well as other important place like rivers, harbours or mountains. The pictural record is accompaigned by text, written by important scholars. Originally six parts, the editors made two volumes of this work, which is highly recommended for any civil war buff, who wishes to see, what he's reading about.
