5.0 out of 5 stars this book is the last word -and best word- on Brady
This book is the last word -- and the best word-- on Brady. It is the perfect gift for the photography buff, the portrait buff. the civil war buff. The author has written a terrific text which places Brady in context. After reading the book and looking at the images you understand why Brady died flat broke--but yr heart breaks for him.

3.0 out of 5 stars dont expect much in the way of battlefield pics
this is almost entirely a book of brady's portrait work, which is fine and dandy, but there is almost nothing in what one would typically think of as civil war photos.
