“Don Bracken captures the essence of the American Civil War in this mammoth contribution to war studies,” the review stated... “the wealth of historical material is presented clearly and concisely. Through the eyes and ink of war correspondents who were on the ground as the battles unfolded, you get a real taste of history as it was being made.”
Concluding that it is “a ‘must read’ for students and teachers of the American Civil War," the review added that “...it is a fascinating read. The book will also appeal to those interested in journalistic writing.”
“‘Times of the Civil War,’ was undertaken with those goals in mind,” said author Don Bracken.” The Civil War was an incredibly vast and intense war and it did give rise to American journalism forcing it into a reportage mode and away from the editorial rant sheet it was prior to Fort Sumter. It is gratifying to see that the reviewer picked up on those points..”
