" Battles and Leaders of the Civil War ", again. Got hooked on it 4 years ago, listened to this on Kindle Audio first, finally loaded it in book form. Century Magazine's compilation and two editors' brilliant brainchild, Civil War luminaries were asked to contribute their recollection- anything, writer's choice. Century Magazine published these for years. " Battles and Leaders " is a ' Best-Of ' selection. Must read? Oh good gravy with goose giblets, yes. Crazy interesting, The War, from all 25 sides of some preposterous octogon's octogarronagon, you see what i'm getting at. What general, for instance, whose last name begins with Johnson had a feud with another leader who....? It's all there in livid, I mean living color. I mean black and white. That was some feud.
Picked the beginning of this, then it's your read- and worth it. John Daniel Imboden, besides being kind of brilliant himself, could write. Well, unsurprisingly an attorney- we have had other experiences where attorney and wordsmith are interchangeable terms. ......And the whole book is free please do not buy it anywhere.
