Product Description
"My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have, a great and truthful medium of history."—Mathew Brady
Mathew Brady and his ground breaking team of assistants risked life and liberty to capture up-close images of the fury of the American Civil War and its aftermath. Brady actually got so close to the action during the First Battle of Bull Run that he only narrowly avoided capture. Brady's Civil War Journal chronicles the events of the war by showcasing a selection of Brady's moving, one-of-a-kind images and describing each in terms of its significance. The text by Theodore P. Savas, authoritative expert on the Civil War, adds context to Brady's memorable photographs, creating an unrivaled visual account of the most costly conflict in American history as it unfolded. 150 b/w photographs.

A Wonderful Gift for History Buffs... December 28, 2008
K. A. Stevenson (Tucson)
I ordered Brady's Civil War Journal for my cousin Ricky for Christmas and took a look at it before wrapping it. The photographs and layout of this book were just amazing!
Originally, we're all from a small town - Danville, Virginia - which was actually the LAST capitol of the Confederacy. The building (now the library) was used by Jefferson Davis as he fled from Richmond. So you can imagine how seriously we take the history of the Civil War!
I am sure that my cousin will absolutely love this great book. Certainly it is the perfect book for any Civil War buff.
PERFECT GIFT FOR A CIVIL WAR BUFF December 24, 2008
CHERYL ANN (SOUTH JERSEY)
MY HUBBY WAS DELIGHTED WITH THIS. HE SAID IT WAS 'EXCELLENT AND VERY INFORMATIVE.' HE BRINGS IT WITH HIM TO WAIT IN DR.'S OFFICES. I FOUND THE PRICE TO BE VERY REASONABLE. SO, THIS IS A GREAT VALUE, TOO.
