Customer Reviews

Highly useful for teachers

I found this book years ago and used its political cartoons as a teaching tool in the classroom. I wish I'd bought it then when it was not so expensive! I highly recommend it for teachers and those interested in the Civil War.

Okay, so I know the editor...

Okay, so I know the editor and all... so I'm biased. I'm a moderate student of the Civil War, but I found this to be a really refreshing way to study the War--through political cartoons. Cartoons of that era seem so much more complicated and intricate that they do today. I learned a lot that I didn't already know, and in a very enjoyable way.
