My review of The Civil War, Volume 1 by Shelby Foote

The Civil War, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville by Shelby Foote
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fantastic book. It brings to life the battles of the Civil War and keeps the reader's interest. The problem with many historical books about large and complicated wars is that they either jump around too much and confuse the reader or get bogged down in the details of endless battles. This book strikes a balance that is unique in my experience. Highly recommend and can't wait to read the second one.
