The American Civil War has long held a fascination for historians and laymen alike, for in its sheer bloodiness it was the first truly 'modern' war, and also the first conflict in which industry played a major role, both for railways and for shipping. Using a series of illustrations in the form of both colour paintings and contemporary photographs, this book analyses the events of four years. It catalogues all the major and many of the minor actions of the war, many of which are represented in detailed aerial views. Parallel civil events, such as the Richmond bread riots, are also featured. In addition, the historical context is set with a description on America's early history and the pattern of events in the increasingly tense atmosphere of the 1840s and the 1850s. In conclusion, an examination is provided of the late 19th century corollary events and their effects upon subsequent US policy at home and abroad.
