A Stillness at Appomattox by Bruce Catton

5.0

I loved this book. Catton has a way of presenting history in such an engaging and entertaining way. The narrative in this book just flowed so beautifully and it made for a pleasant reading experience. I can see why this book won the Pulitzer Prize and I feel it was worthy of every award it was given. I have a particular interest in the Army of the Potomac, and I often find Civil War scholarship is more concerned with that army in it's time before Grant joined than it is in the campaigns of 1864-65. So I appreciated the focus on the later part of the army's history (I am aware this is Book 3 of a trilogy, but my points stands). Overall a great book.
