Whether seeking information about thousands of titles or major historiographical trends, all who use these two volumes will profit immensely." --Gary W. Gallagher, John L. Nau III Professor of History, University of Virginia ?Aaron Sheehan-Dean?s A Companion to the U.S. Civil War immediately becomes the indispensable guide to this sprawling, and ever growing field of historical study.

A most impressive achievement.? --George C. Rable, Charles Summersell Chair in Southern History, University of Alabama
