"This book is a useful tool that will find its way onto many syllabi in the upcoming years, including mine." (H-Net Reviews, 1 April 2011)
"Harrold provides an excellent introduction with not only the historical facts, but also a solid discussion of the historiography. The introduction alone makes it valuable in the classroom. For instructors looking for a good set of primary documents to use in their upper-division Civil War courses, Harrold has provided a great service. Highly recommended.” (Choice, November 2008)
