The American Civil War: History in an Hour by Kat Smutz
5.0
Really impressive detail in such a condensed manner. It felt like a very good history documentary from BBC Four.
I thought I'd give this a read as my american history is very vague at the most part, and I found the 1066 really intriguing so I decided to check this out.
Safe to say I'm very pleased I did. I felt this was a very good cover of all the aspects of the war (Politics, Weapons, Battles, Important people and the aftermath) in a succint but interesting way. This felt like it had more meat to it than the 1066 one which no feels hollower in comparison. A great read for anyone new to the Civil War or someone who wants to refresh their memory on some of the important aspects.
