Don Troiani's Civil War [First Edition Hardcover and Dustjacket]

Mechanicburg, PA: Stackpole Books, 1995. [1999] FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER AND DUSTJACKET, FOUR-COLOR AND BLACK AND WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE EMINENT ARTIST DON TROIANI AND INFORMATIVE TEXT BY BRIAN C. PIHANKA, 189 PAGES, PLUS A BLACK AND WHITE ILLUSTRATED VIGNETTE AT END. Overall, Near Fine condition. According to publisher, "From the sweep of the Gettysburg charge of Barksdale's Mississippians to the pathos of a Confederate private's farewell to his tattered banner, Don Troiani's images define the view all Americans have of that epochal moment in our past." Troiani's illustrations are clear, alive, and powerful - the first collection of Troiani's art to appear in book form. A "comprehensive and nonpartisan view of the Civil War experience." Author Brian C. Pohanka is a widely known authority on Civil War living history and the common soldier - and he has added evocative text to accompany each work of art. The only things the book lacks are the actual sounds of guns and the yelling of the soldiers to make it complete. A wonderful, stunning presentation of the U.S. Civil War - a collectible book.
