Every now and then you read a book that makes you just sit back and go “OH MY GOODNESS.” I am reviewing this, even though I have not fully finished the book - the link expired before I could finish reading. While I was wanting to read more - it was hard to read on the computer after spending hours each day in meetings. I have this on my list to buy when it releases.

I have always enjoyed the Civil War, and finding books about battles in the area where I live are just that much better - as I can share the history with my kids as we walk the sites.
The amount of research done by Jeffry Wert was amazing, and I was blown away by the flow of the book, the ease of the read, and the information that was presented.

The battle for Spotsy Courthouse was one that was brutal and bloody- and through the portion of the book that I was able to read before it expired, I was truly hooked. Using a variety of sources, and reconstructing the battle itself, this book is one that all Civil War history buffs are going to want to add to their shelves.

I look forward to purchasing and finishing the read! This is one that I will be recommending my students pick up for their book reviews.
