"Offering the clearest and most comprehensive examination of the conflict that transformed the United States, the Atlas of the Civil War reveals with surprising immediacy the numerous dimensions of this historic confrontation. Surpassing the scope of any previously published single-volume work, this atlas pairs expert scholarship with precise cartography to depict the ebb and flow of destruction and reconstruction. Divided chronologically into five sections, the Atlas of the Civil War illustrated every significant battle and military campaign while simultaneously considering the important social themes that shaped the country during the same period."--Jacket.
