Grand Review: The Civil War Continues to Shape America

The book tells the fascinating story of the Union's massive victory parade in Washington, D.C. in May 1865, with its human dramas and behind-the scenes tensions. The book is perhaps one of the best explanations of why Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman disliked Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. The book also shows how the Civil War effected the South from 1865 to 1970 including a brief history on the Confederate battle flag. The book provides insight into the 2000 presidential election. It shows why there is a clear divide in American and why it's probably not going away any time soon. The book has about 140 illustrations, some in four colors.
