Rezensionen

"The literature on the American Civil War has grown to almost
unimaginable proportion, leaving many readers and students
frustrated as they try to engage with an enormously complex field.
Aaron Sheehan-Dean and the contributors to this Companion have
provided a most welcome tool that should find a large and grateful
audience. Whether seeking information about thousands of titles or
major historiographical trends, all who use these two volumes will
profit immensely."

--Gary W. Gallagher, John L. Nau III Professor of History,
University of Virginia

"Aaron Sheehan-Dean's A Companion to the U.S.
Civil War immediately becomes the indispensable guide to this
sprawling, and ever growing field of historical study. The
contributors to this fine volume offer thoughtful and comprehensive
assessments of a vast literature that will enlighten readers
familiar with Civil War scholarship as well as providing an
invaluable introduction for students. A most impressive
achievement."

--George C. Rable, Charles Summersell Chair in Southern History,
