{"product_id":"the-oxford-atlas-of-the-civil-war","title":"The Oxford Atlas of the Civil War","description":"\u003cp\u003eOffering the clearest and most comprehensive examination of the conflict that transformed the United States  the Atlas of the Civil War reveals the full dimensions of this historic confrontation. Surpassing the scope of any previously published single-volume work  this atlas pairs expert scholarship with bold mapping to vividly depict the ebb and flow of destruction and reconstruction.  Divided chronologically into five sections  the Atlas of the Civil War illustrates every significant battle and military campaign while simultaneously considering the important social themes that shaped the country during the same time period. All theaters of war in which armies fought and maneuvered will be covered in detail and  marking a major departure from other atlases  this volume will devote substantial attention to the nonmilitary elements of the struggle between North and South. Maps of population  economic development  elections  transportation networks and patterns of enlistment illuminate the intersections between the home front and the battlefield  demonstrating with specially commissioned cartography that no war is fought in isolation from the rest of society. Approximately forty three-dimensional maps of terrain and troop movements add yet another unique element to this ambitious reference.  Written by two esteemed Civil War historians  Kenneth Winkle and Steven Woodworth  the pithy text is accented with black and white photography and illustrations that bring key characters and settings to life. Pulitzer-prize winning author James McPherson  guides the project  setting the tone of the atlas with a foreword and five shorter essays the open each of the sections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986671104053,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195221311","price":30.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195221312.jpg?v=1770913302","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-atlas-of-the-civil-war","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
