Collectible 1st edition, 1st printing Large Trade Paperback Boxed set of 3 Civil War History books with fold-out poster of the flags of the Civil War. All (3) are by emminent Civil War historian Willam Davis: 1) "Rebels & Yankees: The Commanders of the Civil War". This book seeks to explain from the officers' own experiences and points of view how the War was waged, and how those chosen to lead coped with the responsibilities of command. It is a story rich in depth, for the officers on both sides presented a diverse and remarkable group of individuals. The book is illustrated with contemporary photographs, artworks of uniforms and equipment, and a specially commissioned series of color plates of many historical artifacts. Featured among others are the uniforms and personal memorabilia of Generals Lee, Grant, Meade, and Jackson. 2) "Rebels & Yankees: The Battlefields of the Civil War". Tells the stories of thirteen of the most important battles, including First Manassas, Shiloh, Antietam, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. The author not only describes the events and outcomes of those great engagements, but also delves into the characters of the army commanders, revealing in many cases just how much their personalities influenced the actions of their subordinates----and ultimately the outcome of the battles themselves. Rounding out the narrative are 35 full-page color photograph spreads of Civil War artifacts (including flags, uniforms, artillery projectiles, and arms), 28 color paintings of soldiers in various regiment uniforms, and 166 historical photographs. 3) "Rebels & Yankees: The Fighting Men of the Civil War". Shifting his focus from the officer to the men in the ranks, he begins with enlistment and training, follows with life in the camp and on the march, and concludes with experiences of combat, imprisonment, and sickness. Following the men through a wealth of anecdotes and firsthand accounts. Davis brings us the reality of war. Each branch of the service is highlighted, as are combatants such as sailors in both navies and the many African-American troops traditionally denied the limelight.
