Esposito and his staff present clearly and concisely, ., the events of the military campaigns and the factors that influenced the course of action and the outcome of the civil War. The battle maps do not merely portray static situations; they are dynamic, with many map sequences clearly showing the movements of the opposing forces from day to day, sometimes from hour to hour. Moreover, each map is accompanied by text on the opposite page; while the theme is developed in the map, this supplementary narrative explains and comments on the situation pictured. The nineteen major campaigns of the war are carefully detailed in this manner. Explanatory symbols in color make clear troop movements, time sequences, numerical strength of units, boundaries, fortifications, and all the other elements necessary for an understanding of the strategies and tactics involved in the campaigns and specific battles." Chronological chart, large bibliography, plus maps of the Colonial wars, Revolutionary War, 1812, Mexicqn war,
