I absolutely love the pictures that accompany the "story" being told. Not only do the pictures offer a "real life" view, but they offer a detailed account of what an operating room and day-to-day accommodations would be during the Civil War.
In the classroom, I would encourage students to use the book to search for a possible research topic that interests them. This is a great springboard for creating another level of interest in learning/research...not the boring black and white copy usually seen on research bookshelves.
