Not being interested in military strategy, the first half of this book did not interest me. If, however you are, you will find this portion very thorough.
Midway through, the book became more interesting, as civilian personalities are highlighted.

Outstanding!! Margaret Leech was an incredibly beautiful writer. I really enjoyed reading this book. This is a must for anyone interested in the Civil War & Washington D.C. I can't wait to read more of her work.

Imagine this: a woman writes the story of Washington D.C. during the Civil War and includes the voices of everyone living there--women, people of color, the poor--while also explaining the power and devastation of the war and the assassinations and the fissure.
A great listen.
