"If the Civil War was a drama, it was one with avery large cast of characters. So large, indeed, that all but the most expert readers can have difficulty in keeping track of all the players. Even the most summary general histories of the war fairly bristle with names. Often they reappear in confusingly different contexts, and, even more confusingly, they sometimes have identical surnames: lee, for example, or Johnston or Hill or Davis or Reynolds or Porter. although the best-written narrative histories can do much to minimize such problems, not even they can pause to attach biographies to every one of the hundreds of names strewn through their texts. For that, a companion book, a specialized reference work is needed. Who Was who in the Civil War is just such a work. In it you will find, alphabetically arranged, some 50 biographies of the Civil War's most noteworthy figures, military and civilian, men and women. All major (and many lesser) entries are illustrated, either in black-and-white or in full color, and, although he book is not primarily intended to be a general history of the period, the outline of that history is in fact presented via the biographies of the war's foremost leaders, especially those of Lincoln, Jeffers, Davis, Robert E. Lee, Grant, and Sherman. In short, it is a work that should prove nearly indispensable to all dedicated readers of Civil War literature."
