This is in my opinion, a poor and over priced book with even the cover showing inaccuracies.
The book is as the title, for young readers but it is full of mistakes and draws on popular mistakes surrounding the civil war.
The book is printed in UK by amazon and is flimsy and becomes “dog eared” quickly and as mentioned earlier, overpriced.
It is a shame as when on ebay, you can purchase good quality, hard back books on this conflict for half the price.
Not recommended, amazon I would expect better from you.

What sets this book apart is its unique ability to transport readers back in time, allowing us to witness history as it unfolds. The illustrations and vivid descriptions breathe life into the stories, making the battles, debates, and challenges of the Civil War come alive on the pages. The author’s dedication to presenting a comprehensive view of the conflict ensures that readers gain a deeper understanding of why Americans fought and how these battles shaped the nation we know today.

Insightful and quite moving. This book is made up of 16 short stories going into why so many US citizens gave their life up for. Well, research and lots of illustrations keep the book engaging and educational at the same time. Good job
