About This Item
New York: Random House, 1974. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Three volumes. First editions of all three volumes. Volume One is fine in near fine dustwrapper with faint offsetting at the bottom of the jacket; Volume Two has an unobtrusive gift inscription else fine in near fine, slightly age-toned dustwrapper; Volume Three is fine in fine dustwrapper. A landmark history of the Civil War. Because the three volumes were published over a period of almost two decades the set has become increasingly difficult to find in both first editions and in reasonably uniform condition. A very nice set.

During World War II he served in the European theater as a captain of field artillery.
