<DIV><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">There have been hundreds of books and articles on the war. Most cover the subject chronologically and examine the war as one continuous event. This book looks at the war from the perspective of the forty-five states and territories that existed during the period. It looks at the politics of each; the battles fought; the regiments raised; the famous people, soldiers, sailors and very occasional airmen who played their part. Profusely illustrated it will provide a fund of knowledge. </p></div>
