Two Miserable Presidents

Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War

I can't recommend this book highly enough. This was written for teenagers, but I think it is a great read for any age...a great overview of the Civil War and the lead up to it. A 200 page primer that when done, I felt I had a really good grasp on the war [battles, issues, generals]. I have now decided to delve deeper and learn more about Grant, Sherman and Gettysburg. The author has a light writing style which is easy to read, interesting, informative and exciting ...definitely NOT dull. I think libraries should have this book in the youth AND adult sections.
