Images of the Civil War
YA-- The blending of McPherson's readable, accurate, and at times passionate prose with Kunstler's powerful, dramatic, and kinetic paintings provides readers with attractive and enlightening visual passages. After reading the text and looking carefully at the 72 paintings along with the detailed maps, students will come away with a clearer understanding and deeper knowledge of the Civil War in all of its grimness. The series of portraits of generals on both sides is an exciting addition to this pictorial treasure trove.- Peggy H.
