Gave Me Brain Drain, But Loved It

I must admit I am a quiz show buff, and so I really enjoyed this book of Confederate trivia. I think I slept through history class when we were learning about the Civil War, but I don't know why because this period of US history is fascinating, and books like this really do make history come alive. I think the great thing about this is that it not only looks at the military side of life, but also civilian matters such as the politicians, food shortags, taxes, etc. You don't have to have a Confederate ancestor (though I did) to enjoy this sort of book.

Civil War Fans Gotta Have This

This is probably the most enjoyable Civil War book I've bought in the past year. There are so many topics here, not just the battles and the military stuff but also all kinds of things about daily life and the politics in the South, foreign relations, just a broad spectrum. If you like questions and answers, you will like this. Otherwise, you are the Weakest Link. (Good-bye).

Thumbs up from a US history teacher

My husband and I are both big history buffs, and we've really enjoyed this collection of questions and answers about the Confederate States. I think books like this help people see that history is not boring and dry. I use some of the questions in my classes when I teach the Civil War period. This makes a great gift for men who are hard to buy for.
