The Civil War: A Narrative: Volume 2: Fredericksburg to Meridian (Shelby Foote)
First of all, the title needs more colons (I believe it is only tied by Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope: Special Edition in the colon wars).
So what can I say about this book? It's like Volume 1, which is to say, good. And big; It's very big. Good book to squash bugs with. This book covers the middle part of the war, and I guess it's my personal favorite, since it has the swing of the pendulum from south to north, and covers some of the war's biggest events at Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Also, when I was reading Volume 1, some of the plastic on the cover started peeling up, and I couldn't help but pick at it. That did not happen with this volume. The end.
Grade: A+
