Infinitely readable and absorbing, Bruce Catton's The Civil War is one of the best-selling, most widely read general histories of the war available in a single volume. Newly introduced by the critically acclaimed Civil War historian James M. McPherson, The Civil War vividly traces one of the most moving chapters in American history, from the early division between the North and the South to the final surrender of Confederate troops. Catton's account of battles is carefully interwoven with details about the political activities of the Union and Confederate armies and diplomatic efforts overseas. This new edition of The Civil War is a must-have for anyone interested in the war that divided America.… (mere)

Very well written narrative version of history. Not quite Shelby Foote or even my good friend Hampton Newsome, but thoroughly entertaining. Also, unlike Foote (who's three volume narrative the Civil War is, to me, the definitive overall narrative history of the Civil War), Catton's first volume gave me a new appreciation for, and (to some extent) repulsion, to Gen. McClellan who I never fully understood as the reticent, self-doubting, not fully anti-slavery yet pro-Union, wrong-century general that he was. ( )

The best history out there on the Army of the Potomac. It is a literate and wide-ranging look at the history of that Army. It also pulls few punches. More than most Civil War history, it drifts into the social and political realms, vice the purely military. ( )

The Army of the Potomac series chronicles the story of that army from its beginnings under George B. McClellan through its various commanders, to its use as the chief instrument in the defeat of Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. Catton gives considerable attention to the suffering of the common soldier and his desire for a worthy leader. Though the quantity of Civil War histories and writers has exploded, for me, at least, Catton remains the gold standard for narrators of this great conflict. ( )

The single-volume edition of this LT Work, Bruce Catton's Civil War, includes three Bruce Catton titles: Mr. Lincoln's Army (1951), Glory Road (1952), and A Stillness at Appomattox (1953). Together, these constitute Catton's first Civil War trilogy, "The Army of the Potomac."

The single-volume edition should be distinguished from the 3-volume, boxed set of the same title, which reprints Catton's second Civil War trilogy, "Centennial History of the Civil War."
