The Untold Civil War by James Robertson
Dramatically illustrated with archival images and objects and compelling contemporary photography, this book delivers a surprise on every page: from precious personal mementos to forgotten battle sites; from newly recovered glass-plate negatives that reveal long-obscured photographic details to long-lost documents"The book … is a beauty and should make any recipient very happyAlthough large, it isn’t one of those cumbersome coffee-table books but rather the right size to properly display a great selection of photographs." --The Washington Post
“Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, this thematically arranged book reveals the human side of America’s bloodiest war.” –Library Journal
