Author: McPherson, James
Title: Battle cry of freedom : the civil war era
Imprint: New York : Ballantine Books, 1988
Review: For more than 15 years, there's been a single book that every Civil War buff must own: Battle Cry of Freedom, by James M. McPherson. Yes, I like Bruce Catton and Shelby Foote — quite a bit, in fact. I also have a complete four-volume set of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War. My bookshelves creak beneath the weight of these volumes and others by William C. Davis, David Herbert Donald, Douglas Southall Freeman, Margaret Leech, Stephen B. Oates, Stephen W. Sears, and Jay Winik — to pick just a few.
