5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB Civil War Flag Source!, June 5, 2003

Gregory J. Baumbach (Baldwinsville, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Flags of the Civil War (Special Editions (Military)) (Paperback)

This excellently detailed book describes the various uses of Regimental colors, camp colors, battle flags, etc., with excellently rendered color artwork and numerous photos of actual flags. The book has both US and CSA flags broken in sections, with very detailed information on individual state and regiment flags that would satisfy most enthusiasts and diorama makers. Highly recommend this typical Osprey offering!
