Hattaway (1938–2023), a noted Civil War scholar and professor emeritus at the University of Missouri–Kansas City (and co-author of the classic How the North Won), places the 1861–1865 conflict in the broader context of evolving 19th-century warfare, technology (mines, submarines, balloons, etc.), and the rise of military professionalism.
Includes useful recommended reading lists. 
A solid reference that remains readable for both general readers and students of the war.
