The Civil War, An Illustrated History




TIME observes the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War in a richly illustrated chronicle of the conflict that changed America. It's an immense battle between freedom and slavery, waged across the breadth of the still-expanding nation over a period of four years. The book focuses on little-seen photographs and original artifacts from the period: sketches from soldier's diaries, unusual and rare military and political memorabilia. And it brings us face-to-face with those who lived through the period. Retail price is $29.95.
