From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8?Two additions to one of the best series on the Civil War in recent years. In Reconstruction, Mettger faces the daunting task of explaining the confusing post-Civil War era, a time she defines as "a period of great hope and crushing disappointment." She accomplishes her goal with a clearly written, well-explained history. Unflinching in the details about lynchings, the Ku Klux Klan, and corrupt governments, she manages to put a human face on the times. In Till Victory Is Won, the author reports on the many ways African Americans participated in the Civil War. Of course, the famous Massachusetts 54th Regiment is covered. But the little-knowns are not neglected?people like ex-slave Robert Smalls, who stole a steam ship from the middle of Charleston harbor and "defected" to the North; or Lt. Robert Isabelle of the Louisiana Native Guards. Both books have many good-quality photographs and reproductions. As with the rest of the books in this series, these two volumes should be in heavy demand by report writers and history buffs.?Elizabeth M. Reardon, McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN

Gr. 6-9. Filling in the blanks left by many other books on the Civil War, this records the history of black soldiers in the conflict. As Mettger says, "New black recruits soon discovered that becoming a soldier was no guarantee of equality, and that not all their fights would take place on the battlefield." Among the topics discussed are the initial reluctance of the Union to enlist black men as soldiers, the use of black soldiers for manual labor rather than for combat, the blacks' determination to prove themselves in battle as well as their eventual recognition for valor, their struggle for equal pay, the plights of their families, and how serving in the army shaped these men's understanding of their rights in postwar America. Photographs, drawings, paintings, and engravings from the period appear in black and white throughout the book. Offering readers glimpses of the faces of individual soldiers, the photos give a sense of reality and timelessness to this record of the war. The book broadens the reader's perspective on the Civil War by showing it from a different angle. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
