" A bit disappointing, at least compared to some of Keegan's better books. It does serve a pretty good overview of the Civil War, though I'm not sure how much additional information or insight someone who has read a fair amount of Civil War history would get. Keegan's books on the first and second World War were exciting and enjoyable reads--this one doesn't have the snap of either of the two of them, which is what I was expecting from this book. "
