The A to Z of the Civil War by Terry L. Jones (English) Paperback Book

Description: The A to Z of the Civil War by Terry L. Jones Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is a reprint of a 2002 work titled, Historical Dictionary of the Civil War (Scarecrow Press). In this two-volume reference prepared for the wide audience of Civil War historians, buffs, and students, Jones (history, U. of Louisiana) provides a lengthy (75-page) introduction, giving a broad overview of the war and its origins and consequences. Publisher Description The Civil War was the most traumatic event in American history, pitting Americans against one another, rending the national fabric, leaving death and devastation in its wake, and instilling an anger that has not entirely dissipated even to this day. Thus, it is essential to have a resource that can inform about this terrible war clearly and objectively, providing the indispensable details while also offering an overall view. This nearly impossible task has been attempted frequently but rarely accomplished as well as by the Historical Dictionary of the Civil War, which now appears as a somewhat abbreviated A to Z of the Civil War. An overview of the war is provided in the fairly extensive introduction, covering the causes, the course of the war, and the conclusion. It is then followed—sometimes almost day-by-day-in the chronology. Hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, taking up over 1,500 pages, fill in the basic details on persons, places, events, institutions, battles, and campaigns. The bibliography directs readers to other sources of information. Author Biography Terry L. Jones is professor of history at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. He has published three previous books on the American Civil War. Details ISBN 0810853868 ISBN-13 9780810853867 Title The A to Z of the Civil War Author Terry L.
