complete reference
There is so much information in this book it is ridiculous. I have found new sources just by flipping through this book. Every entry is detailed. Many different facets of the war are covered such as political, military, and socioeconomic issues. This is a true all encompassing source to the American Civil War! It is well worth the money.


Amazing Work!!
This is an absolutely essential book for anyone with an interest in Civil War scholarship. The scope and breadth of this work is utterly astounding. Over 250 Civil War scholars have joined to create over 2700 pages on 1600+ entries in this massive book. As advertised, this book is a political, social and military history, as pretty much nothing is missed. Makes a phenomenal starting point for information and research on about any subject or person relating to the war that you can think of. Each entry also includes a list of recommended books and articles for further reading for each entry in the encyclopedia. Several appendicies to the book are made up by important documents realted to all aspects of the conflict, a civil war chronology of events and a state by state battlefield location map. This is a book you will constantly refer back to for information. And, at the seldom instance you are not using this book for study, you can use it in your workout program, as it is darn heavy for a book.


Excellent Civil War Resource
As a producer and professional of public relation in which the civil war it is interested, I have found the encyclopedia of the Heider of the civil war American for being a source of the part-heel of the information on the war between I declare. Complete, however it is tanned, are the information on all the functions of the conflict that varies from prewar editions to relative the last consequences. Even if it is impossible to regard all the skirmishes and you engage, is wonderful quant0 are included. The section of documents is impressive and all the entrances contain the excellent reference. I suggest this encyclopedia to anyone interested to the conflict between the north and the south.


A Fantastic Book
That is a voluminoso book. Soon it will be "the REFERENCE" to greater part of all you debate yourself of civil war. If you had to select hardly a book to go to, for a search of the information of civil war, this must is. From the battle, politics, Heads, speechs, you debate yourself, economy, literature, etc, Is ALL WITHIN HERE. That is a book to that all would be fair also possesses (, like the kind that nearly digs your case within, residing in the reading of the base -- Is a LARGE BOOK.) There is a such wealth of the information and every thing solidily is supported with the excellent references. It is a fantastic book.


Indespensible Civil War resource
This humongous encyclopedia is easily the best reference I have ever seen on the Civil War. The thing is 2600 pages long, has 1600 entries, and weighs about 7 pounds, and is quite well written and edited. It covers military, political, and social events, and biographies equally. The articles are generally well written but short and introductory rather than exhaustive. Has lots of photos, illustrations and maps (the maps are OK but not spectacular), and a wonderful bibliogaphy section. I can't recommend this book enough. I learn something new every time I open it.


Civil War afficianados need this book!
First of all, this thing is MASSIVE! When you're done reading it you can use it for weight in an exercise routine. However, it has over 2200 pages so it will be a long read. That having been said, I believe this will henceforth be THE standard reference guide to the Civil War. It is packed with great photos and maps, some I have never seen before. The capsule summaries are well written and informative. I have glanced through this book and now I am ready to dive in and read it cover to cover. Get this one if you are a Civil War or History buff!
