Foote's blend of scholarly research and storytelling skills give form to heroes and scoundrels of the Civil War. He describes events on both theaters of the war in late 1862 and early 1863, including several cavalry raids, and also discusses the impact of the war on the home fronts. Originally published as volume two of a three-volume set, The Civil War, A Narrative . New to this edition are b&w historical photos, illustrations, and maps. Foote taught at universities in Virginia and Tennessee, and is a member of The American Academy of Arts and Letters and The Fellowship of Southern Writers. Annotation c.
