We have an ongoing video series on our YouTube Channel called From Cover to Cover where we read a book on a subject and then pair that with a discussion of the book while covering a few games also on the subject. In this thirteenth entry in the series, Alexander takes a look at The Civil War: A Narrative Volume 3 by Shelby Foote. He then discusses a few games on the subject including For the People from GMT Games, The U.S. Civil War from GMT Games and Onto Richmond II from Multi-Man Publishing.
-Grant
I’m reading this volume now. Grant getting to Eastern TN and then taking command over the Eastern theatre really lights a fire under this trilogy.

Be ready for folks to complain about Foote being a Confederate apologist. Personally, I think that he provides an alternative perspective without espousing the more distasteful policies of the Confederate government. Most of the soldiers on both sides were not politicians.
