With a highly readable text, contemporary maps, and more than seventy accurate, dramatically composed paintings that record the key events, battles, and personalities of the War Between the States, "Images of the Civil War" is a handsome and important book.
The vivid, highly detailed images--each one carefully researched for costume, architecture, weaponry, landscape, weather conditions, and time of day--were done by Mort Kunstler, one of the country's most gifted contemporary artists. The text was written by James M. McPherson, Professor of American History at Princeton University and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Together Kunstler and McPherson have created a stunning, authoritative book in which paintings and text are integrally related.
