Summary
"This book is a presentation of forty of the most memorable and impactful individuals the author has come across during his three decades of researching and writing about the American Civil War. Waugh's unique pen and spritely style bring to life a mix of the famous and the infamous, the little-known and the unremembered. The author's hope is that these sketches and word portraits rekindle that passion and hook a few non-believers on the undeniable drama that is history"-- Provided by publisher.
