Crossroads of Freedom/The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom

Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for History and a New York Times Bestseller, Battle Cry of Freedom is universally recognized as the definitive account of the Civil War. Now available in this splendid new edition, The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom boasts some seven hundred pictures, including a hundred and fifty color images and twenty-four full-color maps. McPherson has selected all the illustrations and has written extensive captions (some 35,000 words in all, virtually a book in themselves), many of which offer new information and interpretations that significantly enhance the text. This collector’s quality, leather-bound edition of The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom is hand-signed and numbered by the author. It features high-quality paper, colored end-papers, gold-foil edging, and packaged in a sturdy box-wrap.
