ISBN10: 1439148848, ISBN13: 9781439148846, [publisher: Simon & Schuster, New York] Softcover Paperback. "The Civil War was the most dramatic, violent, and fateful experience in American history. . . . Little wonder that the Civil War had a profound impact that has echoed down the generations and remains undiminished today. That impact helps explain why at least 50,000 books and pamphlets . . . on the Civil War have been published since the 1860s.
