A Beautiful Treasure
Just received this book and am already submersed in it. It goes beyond mere "information" and into the realm of a truly creative work. I love the page layout and spectacular photos. I can't believe this book was so inexpensive! It is money well spent!

The Perfect Gift
Defining Moments in History is the book every person should owb- a whole century of knowledge at your fingertips! Who knew that the first rap song was released in 1979 or that foot-binding was abolished in the same year as the end of the Boer war and the independence of Cuba? This book is a mine of information, each entry well-researched and well-written. Finally, a history book that won't put you to sleep!

Wahoo! History without the yawn....
One thousand events that will make you say, wow......who knew? The writing is superb; it's sexy, contemporary and informative. The events are as diverse as the suicide of Virginia Woolf to the evolution of Botox as a cosmetic drug.I'm scooping a few of these up for Christmas/Hanukkah. I love this book! ... Read more

Mighty Stonewall
This book was a Christmas present for my girlfriend.I was notified as soon as the book was sent to me.I received the book in a very timely fashion.My girlfriend is a Civil War fan, and had read the book before, so she was absolutely thrilled to get a copy that she could keep.Fabulous product, and wonderful service.Thank you to the seller.

The Real Stonewall Jackson
Anyone who has read any of Frank Vandiver's books can be assured that a book by Vandiver is well worth having and reading.This book is no exception.The author presents a fleshed out, human, icon of the Confederacy.

student
Vandiver captures Jaskson; warts and all. His is a comprehensive book detailing all aspects of Jackson's life. Well worth the money and read.

Still the best
After all that has been written about Jackson, Vandiver's treatment is still the best. Highly recommended.

The definitive Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson biography
This is an essential book for anyone's personal library.Smart, concise, well-illustrated, and comprehensive it tells the story of one of early America's greatest field commanders.Never engaging the question of Northversus South and the issues that sculpted the Civil War, Vandiver focuseson the man, his legend, and the simple values he built his life around. ...
