the Civil War Years : Canada and the United States

[Gene C]

Finally finished this very good book. Kieran is right.
This is probably the best book (written mainly from the Canadian perspective) on the relationship between Canada and the US during the Civil War. There is an excellent chapter on the St. Albans Raid, not much about assassination conspirators in Canada.
It is well written, but it is not light reading. No fluff or filler material here. There is so much new information it is almost overwhelming.
Sources well documented. Mr. Winks has written several other interesting sounding books.

I was able to find a bargain, like new copy for only $6. I found it interesting, and can recommend it, but shop around, it's expensive. I'm a bit thrifty on some of my book purchases and would not have spent more than $20 for this one. It's not likely I will pick it up and read it cover to cover again, but I did enjoy reading it.
