A compilation of Articles by History Professors

Being a Civil War buff for 40 years I found the book very interesting, although I would have liked more depth and detail. The articles are very dry and extensively footnoted, as they are historical papers. However, I bought it because I thought that it was more of Shaara's historical fiction. WHICH IT IS NOT! He only writes a boring, gratuitous preface (to get his name on the book?) I think it is false advertising. So, be aware what you are getting!
