About This Item
New York: Crown Publishers, Inc., 1994. This Stated First Edition (and unless it's stated, it's not) is in New, unread condition, with a New, unclipped dust jacket. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. The author fully understands that war history isn't a composite of dull facts and figures. In this fascinating work, the Civil War comes alive through the detailed lives of two soldiers, one in blue and one in gray, with more in common than either would have guessed. The book is bound in pebbled wheat-colored boards with a brown spine cloth and die-stamped gilt spine titles. The book measures 6 3/8 by 9 1/2 inches and includes 436 pages, with Index. . First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
