Great Battles for Boys, The Civil War

Description

Great Battles is a best selling series. History comes alive from the pages of Great Battle for Boys, The Civil War. Author Joe Giorello doesn’t glorify war, instead he narrates conversationally the battles, the heroes, the unsung heroes, with mention of unknown facts. It’s easy to be transported back in time and the reader finds themselves viewing the front lines as if they were there.

Chapters in this book starts with the first shots at Fort Sumter and ends with the South’s surrender at Appomattox. Twenty battles are chronological. Readers learn about military leaders and the strategies of important battles and why they lead to defeat or victory.

Like all the Great Battle series I like the fact that each battle offers more resources at the end.
