" Found his entire series on the ivil War captivating, extremely readable " - doug, I only with Bruce Catton had been one of them. " I was lucky enough to have had several excellent professors who taught Civil War history. However it seemed to me that the film took much of its dialogue straight from Catton. " Only the Gettysburg portion, in preparation for an upcoming trip and because my husband the historian criticized the movie "Gettysburg" as superficial and misleading. " A bit of a slog but I understand much more about the Civil War and especially Lincoln now. " Potentially factually thin in a couple of places (George Thomas messing up a map? Really?) and perhaps a little too generous of spirit toward many of the generals, but still an absolutely elegant read.
" Catton's three-volume history of the Civil War is excellent: detailed, nuanced, and highly readable history written for adults. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
