Query: Unreadable

While I am sure Civil War history buffs who really enjoy detail may find this book interesting, I found it to be almost unreadable. It seemed to me that this was a PhD thesis that the authors felt had to be lengthy to get accepted. And after an enormous amount of redundant material, I felt like they didn't prove their views. If you want something readable, look to Battle Cry of Freedom by McPherson.
