Illustrated Atlas of the Civil War (Echoes of Glory)

320 pp. "...a comprehensive yet concise resource that examines the war from the perspective of its four primary theaters--the East, the West, the Far West, and the Coast. Each battle is elucidated through more than 140 detailed four-color maps and specially created "Order of Battle" sidebars that name the commanders and the numerical strength of the opposing forces at each confrontation. Period illustrations, paintings, and photography add to the reader's understanding of the events of the war and the players involved. In addition, the atlas introduces readers to campaigns of the Civil War that are rarely discussed in other books, including warfare along the Atlantic Coast at such places as Hampton Roads and Plymouth and the Far West campaigns in New Mexico and along the Red River, as well as more famous engagements including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Sherman's March, and Appomattox."--jacket
