Description
For Virginia is an ..". exhaustive look at the Civil War...The text relies on a great number of firsthand accounts. Letters from soldiers, entries from diaries, and correspondence from officials are all included to create an image of a time that to modern readers may seem almost inconceivably brutal...makes the horrors and confusion of the period palpable...compelling...this book paints a complex portrait of a momentous war."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Mark Brewer brings us back to those crucial years when Americans slaughtered one another. Using engaging vignettes, he takes us into the minds of figures such as Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and John Wilkes Booth. These are not mere portrayals of historic figures, but examinations of very human characters full of flaws and nobility, struggling with momentous events."
