Summary: Basic Primer.
Comment: This is an easy, short read but it leaves the reader feeling like something is missing - like what happens. The first battle in the final campaign of the Civil War, one has to wonder why the author covers a single battle in two volumes and just where that second volume is. What there is of the battle is covered fairly well but the engagement is covered so much better by so many other authors that you would be well served to skip this rendition.

Rating: 1
Summary: Banned Book
Comment: This book has the destinction of being BANNED by the National Park Service from being sold by Eastern National book stores in their visitor centers because it is unreliable. Let the buyer beware.

Rating: 4
Summary: Immensly detailed
Comment: My opinion is that you will not like this book if you are not VERY interested in the Civil War. I liked it. But, I warn you that it is FULL of LITTLE details about the battle. If that's what you are looking for, get it. What is hard to grasp in this book is the "big picture." This is partially due to the poor maps provided. If you can, you make use of other maps, so that you don't just get a whole bunch of tiny details. You need a big map of the whole general area with the place and road names. And, it would be nice to have maps that showed troop movement. If it were not for this lack of maps and the "big picture" part of the battle, I would have given it 5 stars. Another thing. This book does not have too much about the generals and what kind of people they were. It concentrates more on the rank and file dirty-work soldiers.
