About this ebook
"This book triumphs on several levels . . . This is going to be my answer to the question 'Where should I start looking at the Civil War?' from now on." — TOCWOC–A Civil War Blog
The New Civil War Handbook is a complete up-to-date guide for American Civil War enthusiasts of all ages. Author Mark Hughes uses clear and concise writing, tables, charts, and more than 100 photographs to trace the history of the war from the beginning of the conflict through Reconstruction.
Coverage includes battles and campaigns, the common soldier, technology, weapons, women and minorities at war, hospitals, prisons, generals, the naval war, artillery, and much more. In addition to these important areas, Hughes includes a fascinating section about the Civil War online, including popular blog sites and other Internet resources. Reference material in The New Civil War Handbook includes losses in battles, alternate names for battles, major causes of death of Union soldiers (no data exists for Confederates), deaths in POW camps, and other valuable but hard to locate information.
Readers will find The New Civil War Handbook to be an invaluable quick reference guide, and one that makes an excellent gift for both the Civil War novice and the Civil War buff.
"Updated and more comprehensive than ever, Mark Hughes' timely release of The New Civil War Handbook will introduce yet another generation to the defining event in American history." —Terrence J. Winschel, retired Chief Historian, Vicksburg National Military Park and author of Triumph and Defeat
