The Civil War lasted for four years and claimed the lives of over 630,000 Americans. Between 1861-65 armies swept across vast stretches of the United States. Cities such as Atlanta, Richmond, and Vicksburg were virtually destroyed. American soldiers slayed one another in numbers previously and subsequently unimagined. Small American towns such as Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Manassas, and Petersburg became the sites of horrific battles. In the end, the Civil War resulted in the reunification of the country, emancipation for millions of African-Americans, the destruction of antebellum social structures in the South, and the emergence of the United States as a great power on the international scene. Since 1865 literally tens of thousands of books have been written about a plethora of Civil War subjects. Many of those books have younger readers as their target audience. Authors and contemporary publishers produce dozens of Civil War books every year designed for children and adolescents. Many of those publications are well written, thoughtfully focused, and memorable in terms of structure. However, some are not worthy of purchase or perusal.
