Great book!!!!

I am half Irish and I wanted to know some trivia, history, etc. before I go to visit Ireland. This book is fantastic!!!

essentual facts

This is one of the best written little books on the civil war, great facts on about every thing you would want to know written in down to earth language,easy to read very informative. Information on the battles , commanders, music on the battle fields and much much more a great book of facts very interesting

Be careful....

I have a book by the same author called "The Everything Irish Book," and it's pretty much the same. So if you have that one, don't get this one too! Great books though.
