" I am a history buff, plus I am fascinated by the Civil War, so I thought this book would give me more than it did. However, I did enjoy the style of the writer in concise tabloid manner and it did keep me turning pages.It is well worth reading. There are insights into the American psyche at the time which help us understand how this event impacted our history today. "

" If you've studied Lincoln like every other school kid or seen the movie like every other Oscar nod OCD sufferer, it still tells you new things. Takes several chapters to get into it, but it soon reads like the novel many of us want nonfiction to be. (The TV depiction should be interesting.) "
