Richmond Burning: The Last Days of the Confederate Capital

Rating:
Summary: decent, researched, biased
Review: This is a very niche book for the experienced civil war buff. A startling, and riveting account of the last days of Richmond as the confederacy collapsed around the citizens. Now we must remmemebr these poeple had been under siege but untill these last days many were living in a dzae, somehow hopeing to god that the war would not come to their city on the hill in their beloved Virginia. We must remmember that much fighting had been closer to Peterburg. This book gives a blow by blow account of the many people cought up in this great conflageration.

As has been noted this book is slightly biased and portrays the North as the liberators coming to subdue the viscious south, which had to be crushed into repenting for the sins of slavery. Probably this is the only negative aspect of the book.
