They illuminate the conflict from all perspectives-Union and Confederate, military and civilian, black and white, male and female-and give readers a deeply human sense of the war.</p><p>With an introduction from Pulitzer Prize winner Eric Foner and more than eighty photographs, <i>The Civil War in 50 Objects</i> is the perfect companion for readers and hist
