Every person of importance is named for each battle and the review at the end of the war. Each battle is in detail, though not as meticulous detail as I have heard some reports are. This is a readable account by one of the best beloved generals of the Civil War, Joshua Chamberlain, whose existence went into virtual obscurity upon is death until he was rediscovered decades later. It is his personal account for the last few weeks of the Civil War. Sorry to disagree with the previous reviewer, but this book is not about Gettysburg. Chamberlain wrote a series of books about the Civil War. This is the last in the series. It covers the battl Five Forks, the surrender of Lee's army, and the final reviews of the armies. It is a remarkably moving and beautiful book. Chamberlan assisted Grant when he and Lee met at Appomatox He also arranged for the ceremony in which the rebel army surrenderred their arms. Chamberlain made a lot of history and lived to write about it. This book is a must for any Civil War buff. It brought tears to my eyes more than once. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

He does quote Shakespeare, which I really like. Chamberlain is an excellent writer from the late 1800's, and I like his light sarcasm. Actually humorous at times. Not thrilled with the formatting of the book though, no index and not enough maps. ( )
