This review is from: The Insiders' Guide to Civil War Sites in the Eastern Theater, 2nd (Paperback)

This is a great entry in the Insiders series... it is consitantly informative. The format of a series of "day trips" is useful for planning trips, and the numerous sidebars are made for the armchair traveler. I did not find the restaurant suggestions very applicable, though: the sampling of available establishments is too small to be useful.
