Synopsis

The Civil War was the defining event in American history.

The Civil War 100 uses a truly novel approach to analyze the respective importance of the events, leaders and battles of America's most important war.

"Across this easily accessible reference, readers meet not

only such icons as Lincoln and Lee, but also chronic fumblers

whose tarnished reputations have most often sunk beneath

the notice of the endless waves of Civil War histories...A

recommended reference for the aficionado and the uninitiated

alike. Those well-versed in Civil War lore will enjoy the

intellectual challenge of supporting or debunking Lanning's

rankings, while the merely curious will be exposed to an

insightful world of detail that they may have otherwise

missed." --ForeWord Magazine
