The Army Of Northern Virginia (Men At Arms Series, 37)

On June 27, 1862, with the American Civil War already a year old, General Robert E. Lee assumed personal command of troops engaged in driving the Federal Army of the Potomac out of Richmond – troops which would henceforth be known as The Army of Northern Virginia. Philip Katcher explores in absorbing detail all aspects of the army, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, technical and medical corps, paying particular attention to equipment, weapons and uniforms. Contemporary and museum photographs, together with the author's expert text, combine to paint a vivid and accurate picture of what life was like for the average confederate soldier.

Great book very detailed. It helps me with my art work and is great for reproduction use. Great book for historical research.

Good Reference, wish it encluded more Va. units uniforms.

A++++

If you need a cheap-ish Civil War book for your 10-year-old buff, this may be the one. It's simple, easy to read, doesn't contain overwhelming inaccuracies, and has lots of pictures. I wouldn't really recommend it for adult scholars. It's a decent quick reference but is so short and lacking in either detail or gripping writing that many people won't find it very useful.

THIS IS A SIMPLY WRITTEN, NICELY ILLUSTRATED BOOK WITH AN OBVIOUS ANTI-SOUTHERN AGENDA; PERFECT FOR THOSE LIVING NORTH OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE.
