"When Shelby Foote's The Civil War, A Narrative was published, Newsweek exclaimed, "To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here." Indeed, Foote's blend of scholarly research and great storytelling skills brings that conflict to life as no history has ever done. His landmark narrative gives flesh and form to the heroes and scoundrels who acted on this stage of American history. He weaves together tales of North and South, the eastern and western theaters, politics and diplomacy, and civilian and military life. In this third volume of the 40th Anniversary Edition of his epic work, Mr. Foote recounts events of the spring and early summer of 1862 - Jackson's Valley campaign, McClennan's Peninsula campaign, the Seven Days, and maneuverings in the West, including the fiery life and death of the C.S.S. Arkansas, and Bragg's move to Chattanooga. For the first time, Shelby Foote's incomparable text has been supplemented with period photographs, sketches, paintings, engravings, and colorful maps culled from Time-Life Books' vast resources and experience in publishing Civil War materials. Whether you are a dedicated fan of Civil War history or a newcomer to the subject, you undoubtedly will find this collector's edition of Shelby Foote's narrative a riveting account of the most tumultuous time in America's past." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Their bayonets gleaming, well-ordered columns of Federal infantry drill in a camp near Washington, D.C., in early 1862." - from the rear outer jacket, caption directly underneath the black-and-white photograph.
