This non fiction book really gives a lot of details that a regular text book does not give. It shows diagrams and up close pictures of their weapons. It goes into detail about the deathes and dying. It also show soliders lying dead-it is a true book. It does not sugar coat anything.

Of course, this book is all about the civil war (how it began and ended). I reccomend it for the details provided in pictures and other artifacts of the time. It's like a museum inside of a book.

Civil War is a great learning tool for middle school children. The book gives detailed accounts of the causes, action, major figures, and aftermath of the Civil War. There are hundreds of photographs and drawings of the events. There are also dozens of artifacts that were actually used in the war.

the war, briefly explains it, and has accompanying photographs and pictures to aid in its description. For example, page 24 is labeled "Outfitting armies" and explains how the armies were clothed, what soldiers carried on their person, and what kinds of weapons soldiers used. The surrounding pictures show the guns, some of the items a soldier carried, and pictures of uniformed soldiers. It is a visually appealing book, with most of the pictures being of actual Civil War artifacts. For visual learners, this is a great book because the photos really do back up the text. This is a great book for any student who wants to see things from the war and not just read about it. Show Less
