Offering a striking and reasonably priced alternative to expensive atlases that focus almost exclusively on military movements,
Concise Historical Atlas of the U.S. Civil War,
Second Edition, is the only atlas that includes data maps and covers key issues before and after the war years. It balances military and non-military coverage, presenting maps that deal with political and social changes along with campaign and battle maps. Accessible to students with limited geographic knowledge, the maps are clearly labeled, with key features marked. Each map is accompanied by a short narrative that provides helpful contextual information.
