You are considering a hardback book, with a DJ,
THE CIVIL WAR, A NARRATIVE VOLUME 9: FIVE FORKS TO APPOMATTOX, VICTORY AND DEFEAT by Shelby Foote; PUBLISHER: Random House, NYC, NY; a 1974 printing; 345 pages.
Here is the dust and stench of war in its twilight, with occasional lurid flare-ups, mass desertions, and the queasiness that accompanies the risk of being the last man to die. Then, penultimately, Lee at Appomattox, the one really shining figure in this last act. Davis's flight south from fallen Richmond overlaps Lincoln's death from Booth's derringer, and his capture at Irwinville comes amid the surrender of the last Confederate armies, east and west of the Mississippi River. So ends a unique achievement-widely recognized as one of the finest histories ever written, a vast and brilliant narrative of the Civil War.
Condition: Sticker residue on front of DJ. No other known damage.
