Book Reviews of Ordeal By Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction

Book Review: An excellent look at America's bloodiest period.
Summary: 4 Stars

Mcpherson clearly demonstrates he is the leading authority on the American Civil War, and still writes an engaging and thought provoking work. I highly recomend this book to the serious student, as well as the casual reader. If you could only have one book on the Civil War in your collection this must be it.
