National Geographic Guide to Civil War National… por Greene. A. Wilson
A nice little book, but regretfully for the National Geographic, as with so much Civil War rhetoric, it is written with Southern sympathy by those who are still fighting the Civil War, waving the stars and bars, praising all the grandiose Southerners if! if! if! and of the opinion the North won the war by accident. It gets a bit tiring.

When you think of any aspect of the Petersburg campaign, A. Wilson Greene is clearly the expert historian in this venue. The importance of Petersburg during the Civil War was greatly illuminated and better undertood by me from reading this book. In conjunction with his previous book on the Petersburg Breakthrough Battle, this book adds dimension and texture to the battles fought, the people who lived there, and the culture and industry of Petersburg as the war progressed. The author's keen perspective brings those times to life in an entertaining and educational manner. I fully enjoyed the hours spent reading this book. For those of us who carefully read footnotes in history books, there is a wealth of information in this meticulously researched account. I highly recommend it.… (más)
