Description - The Blue & Gray Almanac by Albert Nofi
Fascinating anthology about the American Civil War, throwing new light on all aspects of the war. The great national epic in American history is not, as in many countries, the War for Independence, but rather the Civil War. The Civil War was about the nation's people living and dying as they struggled over the meaning, promise, and nature of America, and whether, in the words of Lincoln, it could endure "half slave and half free." Historian Albert Nofi shares his fascination with the Civil War through this work. His text weaves in contemporary poems and songs, anecdotes and facts, quotes and recipes to throw light on many aspects of the war, from its origins through its battles to the experience of both soldiers and civilians, to how it affected America, from then down to the present. AUTHOR: Albert Nofi is a military historian, defense analyst and wargame designer. He has published over 30 books on a wide variety of topics. Illustrations throughout
