Pristine, tight and bright sixth printing of this exhaustively illustrated narrative of the war, organized chronologically. Best of all, the front flyleaf bears a fine, archival, decorative-edged bookplate signed boldly in full by James M. McPherson (born 1936), the Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War historian who contributes one of this book's chapters. "Based on a documentary filmscript by Geoffrey C. Ward, Ric Burns, and Ken Burns," this is the superbly-illustrated companion guide to Ken Burns' groundbreaking Civil War miniseries.
