Reviews for The American Civil War
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
3/5
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A 99p kindle book that purports to tell you the history of the American Civil War in an hour. I’m not sure if this book is written to appeal to cretins or children, but its badly written, repetitive & contradictory. I bought the one about the Vietnam War too, which I feel obliged to read because I paid for it.
