　　In 1954, Shelby Foote was a young novelist with a contract to

write a short history of the Civil War. It soon became clear,

however, that he had undertaken a long-term project. Twenty years

later Foote finally completed his massive and essential trilogy on

the War Between the States. His three books are prose masterpieces

with lively characterizations and gripping action. Although Foote

never sacrifices the truth of what happened to his penchant for

artistry, his skills as a novelist serve him well. Reading all

three of these books will take some time, but they are worth the

investment--especially if you, like Foote, have a touch of sympathy

for the South's lost cause.
