Review: Fields of Fury

Fields of Fury by James M. McPherson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very informative juvinille novel of the Civil War. This is the first book I have read of his but I must say I am intrigued to read more. The cool thing about this book is that it includes all of the major battles/events in time order. Plus on the side of every page are quick facts about the event, they usually include interesting quotes from a direct witness or a little known fact, either way I found both interesting. I also thought that the pictures fit the book very nicely. This book was not hard to follow in any sense, so any child interested in learning about the Civil War would enjoy this book. It does include violence (but it is a Civil War book, you can't have a true Civil War book without violence) but it isn't too much.
