Review"Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives of our century, a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters... a stirring and stupendous synthesis of history."-- Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News"A grand, sweeping narrative... will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its kind."-- Richard N. Current, N.Y. Herald TribuneThe Civil War:A NarrativeFredericksburg to Meridian"This, then, is narrative history -- a kind of history that goes back to an older literary tradition... The writing is superb ... one of the historical and literary achievements of our time."-- T. Harry Williams, Book World"The lucidity of the battle narratives, the vigor of the prose, the strong feeling for the men from generals to privates who did the fighting, are all controlled by a constant sense of how it happened and what it was all about. Foote has the novelist's feeling for character and situation, without losing the historian's scrupulous regard for recorded fact. The Civil War is likely to stand unequalled."-- Walter Millis --_Review_"Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives of our century, a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters... a stirring and stupendous synthesis of history."-- Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News"A grand, sweeping narrative... will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its kind."-- Richard N.

<p><P>An unparalleled achievement, an American <i>Iliad</i>, a unique work uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability of the first-class novelist. &mdash;Walker Percy<P>I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable account of the savage battling between Grant's and Lee's armies.... Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most Southern commentators, he does not take sides. In objectivity, in range, in mastery of detail in beauty of language and feeling for the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the subject.... It stands alongside the work of the best of them. &mdash;<i>New Republic</i><P>Foote is a novelist who temporarily abandoned fiction to apply the novelist's shaping hand to history&#58; his model is not Thucydides but <i>The Iliad</i>, and his story, innocent of notes and formal bibliography, has a literary design. Not by accident...but for cathartic effect is so much space given to the war's unwinding, it's final shudders and convulsions.... To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here; one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again. &mdash;<i>Newsweek</i><P>The most written-about war in history has, with this completion of Shelby Foote's trilogy, been given the epic treatment it deserves. &mdash;<i>Providence Journal</i></p>

This final volume of Shelby Foote's masterful narrative history of the Civil War brings to life the military endgame, the surrender at Appomattox, and the tragic dénouement of the war—the assassination of President Lincoln. Features maps throughout.'An unparalleled achievement, an American Iliad, a unique work uniting the scholarship of the historian and the high readability of the first-class novelist.'—Walker Percy “To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here; one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again.” —Newsweek “In objectivity, in range, in mastery of detail, in beauty of language and feeling for the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the subject.... Written in the tradition of the great historian-artists—Gibbon, Prescott, Napier, Freeman—it stands alongside the work of the best of them.” —The New Republic “The most written-about war in history has, with this completion of Shelby Foote's trilogy, been given the epic treatment it deserves.” —Providence Journal

Years from now, Foote's monumental narrative most likely will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its kind

Foote brings to a close the story of four years of turmoil and strife that altered American life forever. The final volume opens with the beginning of the two final, major confrontations of the war: Grant against Lee in Virginia, and Sherman pressing Johnston in North Georgia in 1864. The narrative describes the events and battles from Sherman's March to the Sea to Lincoln's assassination and the surrender of Lee at Appomattox
