Essential, readable, provocative…

Book review:

Major Problems in the Civil War and Reconstruction

1st and 2nd editions

Michael Perman, ed.

1st Edition: Lexington, MA: D. C. Heath and Company, 1991, 598 pp.

2nd Edition: Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1998, 460 pp.

Major Problems in the Civil War and Reconstruction is a tantalizing collection of contemporary documents and complementary essays by modern writers.

Perman has assembled “essential, readable, and provocative” commentaries on the catastrophes of the Civil War and Reconstruction in the middle of the 19th century.

Maybe you know a lot about that time and those events. You’ll learn more from this commendably interesting and surprisingly insightful book.

Take the time to read both editions of Major Problems—both editions are equally valuable, with almost wholly different selections.
