| | Amazon.com: American Civil War, The: Books: Edward F Dolan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Grade 4-7?Trying to condense the many compelling incidents and convoluted issues of the Civil War is a daunting task, but Dolan is fairly successful. |
 | | The battle maps are clear and easy to read, but the fl-and-white photographs and reproductions add little to readers' understanding of the text or the war; rather, they seem stuck in to fill space. |
 | | Sidebars carry discussions of topics such as women in the war, fl soldiers, ironclad ships, and slavery. |
