I'm a civil war nerd so I would have been shocked if this had gotten a rating below 5 stars, to be honest. This was a great overview of the war and even went over some little known things (like spies!). The interactive elements really brought this book to life and made it that much more entertaining and easy to connect with. I would recommend this book. 5 out of 5 stars. ( )

Written by an established expert on the era, The Civil War Experience offers the reader the chance to relive this defining moment in history through some two hundred illustrations, including specially commissioned maps and thirty facsimile items of rare memorabilia. ( )
