sleepyboi2988 's review for:
A Season of Slaughter: The Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, May 8-21, 1864
by Chris Mackowski, Kristopher D. White
An excellent book that is written very well overall with the perfect amount of narrative and first-hand accounts of this bloody battle.
One of the things I enjoyed about this publication was for an ACW neophyte such as myself. I appreciated that every time the author introduced a commander or leader, he included a picture of them. It helped me a lot put literal faces to names.
The other pictures included are a nice mix of modern ones from today's battlefield and period pieces. The current images accompany a guided tour section; each chapter as the battle unfolds, the author gives you driving/walking directions along with GPS coordinates so you can read the book as you explore and walk the battlefield.
