YALiving History series.
These books attempt to cover complicated subjects with mixed results. In addition to country and city life, troop support, and blacks' segregated existence, North considers the varied economic and social issues that motivated the Northern war movement. South contains useful information but oddly avoids slavery's horrors. Illustrations and boxed quotes create infrequent breaks in the text-heavy pages. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these Living History titles: Life in the North During the Civil War and Life in the South During the Civil War.
