"This book will guide the reader to works and sources that will be
valuable in a particular area of study. It should serve those who
are turning their attention to one of its many facets they haven't
yet explored....Using this book should save students of the War,
new or experienced, false starts and wasted effort, and speed them
on their way to the productive examination of America's "fiery
trial.,.""-Confederate Veteran
?[I]mmensely valuable as [a] reference work. Steven Woodworth [has]
provided [a] guide that will help professional historians and
beginners sort out Civil War literature. [This] indispensible
volume should be included in every Civil War library.?-The Journal
of Southwest Georgia History
?[This work] is essential for Civil War specialists and highly
recommended even for enthusiasts only slightly past the neophyte
stage.... [It] is so readable and so impressively informative that
[it] could be enjoyed in and of [itself], as well as used from time
to time as [a] reference tool--as [it] no doubt will be by all
serious scholars.... Woodworth's work...is simply a treasure-trove
of Civil War knowledge, going well beyond the boundaries of
books.... It is hard to say enough about how important and useful
[this book is] and how important it is that all Civil War
enthusiasts should know about [it]. I guarantee they'll treasure
[it].?- Civil War Times
?The expertise, care, and clarity evident in [this] work will
benefit researchers from beginners to scholars in all types of

?This massive work has 47 contributors, all distinguished scholars
on the period...This book is intended to guide both the neophyte
and experienced Civil War scholar. The essays show trends and
changes in historical interpretations and sometimes even mention
areas in need of further research... It is current and extensive in
its coverage. Academic, public, and Civil War collections should
consider this excellent reference source for their
collections.?-Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
?Woodworth has orchestrated the contributions of librarians, museum
curators, and historians, forty-nine strong, into a bibliographic
guide that will help both the newcomer and the seasoned Civil War
researcher sift through the masses of material published about that
conflict, its causes, its conduct, and its aftermath.... the Civil
War, at least for researchers, begins henceforth with Woodworth's
handbook.?-Rettig on Reference
?Woodworth's handbook is an excellent guide through the immense
bibliography of America's greatest conflict. More than 45
specialists provide bibliographic essays on a wide range of
topics...Many of the substantial essays are important not only for
their bibliographic content, but for their analysis of the changing
themes and trends of Civil War scholarship....Scope and quality
make this an ideal reference text for students, bibliographers,
scholars, and curators of Civil War materials. Highly
recommended.?-Choice
