In the world of historical painting, Don Troiani stands alone, universally acclaimed for the accuracy, drama, and sensitivity of his depictions of America's past. His Civil War paintings and limited edition prints hang in the finest collections in the country and are noted internationally as well. Don Troiani's Civil War -- the first collection of his Civil War art to appear in book form -- is a chronological depiction of every face of the war. His most famous and popular works -- most of which are in private collections and unavailable for viewing -- are all represented here; many rarer pieces, which are not even available in print form, are also included. Don Troiani attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and New York City's Art Students League. His first Civil War print was released in 1980, and in 1984 he established Historical Art Prints to distribute his work. His artwork is in numerous major collections, including American Heritage magazine, the National Park Service, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Pentagon, and the Smithsonian Institute. His second book, Don Troiani's Soldiers in America, 1754-1865, was published by Stackpole in 1998.

Why did Abraham Lincoln sneak into Washington for his inauguration? was the Gettysburg Address written on the back of an envelope? Where did the Underground Railroad run? Did General Sherman really say, "War is Hell"?

If you can't answer these questions, you're not alone. Millions of Americans, bored by dull textbooks, are in the dark about the most significant event in our history. Now New York Times bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis comes to the rescue, deftly sorting out the players, the politics, and the key events - Emancipation and Reconstruction, Shiloh and Gettysburg, Generals Grant and Lee, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and much more. Drawing on moving eyewitness accounts, Davis includes a wealth of "hidden history" about the roles played by women and African Americans before and during the war, along with lesser-known facts that will enthrall even learned Civil War buffs. Vivid, informative, and hugely entertaining, Don't Know Much About the Civil War is the only book you'll ever need on "the war that never ended."
