Balanced Details

(4 Sterne)

A very good approach yet again. This book has a lot more of a government feel to it, though it does have some extensive details about battles. I really enjoyed it and I find I’m picking up more information here in there that I’ve never heard before. It’s going to have really good chapters as only going to speed up more as the war powers on as we move through 1863.
