About This Item
Greenwich, CN: Brompton Books Corp., 1990. First Printing, First Edition Thus. . Hardcover. Very Good/Good Plus. The title of this oversized, lavishly-illustrated volume by Welsh, a noted military historian, might better have used "concise" rather than "complete." No single book of 176 pages could hope to be all-inclusive about a four-year war of the magnitude of the U.S. Civil War. That said, Welsh's book does provide a basic overview as well as literally dozens of reproductions of Civil War era photos, maps, drawings, paintings and other illustrations that may well have more value than the text to readers such battle re-enactors searching for accurate descriptions of uniforms, weapons and equipment. 10 1/2 x 14 1/2 inches, including an index, and an 18 x 21 inch map of major Civil War battlefields laid-in. Black cloth-covered boards show minor wear at the edges, corners and spine ends; the top edge of the text is very lightly foxed, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows considerable wear, with several tears (some tape-repaired) to the dj's edges and corners, as well as some scratching and creasing, though the jacket remains nearly 100% whole. A very serviceable reading/study copy.
