For a book about the American Civil War, I was surprisingly into this book. Maybe because there was so much focus on the people, rather than the battle itself. While I was definitely still confused about what was happening, the maps helped a lot. There are obviously things that are very dated (calling slavery "a way of life" is definitely not the vibe anymore), but as a historical piece it was interesting.
