The Spring 2008 edition of Civil War Book Review is out. Among other things of interest is the reviewer bio blurb for Christopher Stowe of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College which mentions he is completing a two-volume biography of George Meade for Kent State Univ. Press. Brett has already mentioned the Glatthaar interview from the same issue on TOCWOC. Blogger Andrew Duppstadt has a review of Joiner's Mr. Lincoln's Brown Water Navy. I think we are in agreement as to its positive qualities.
Dimitri has posted the first of a two-part interview with Russell Bonds, author of one of the best Civil War books of recent memory, and a startlingly good effort for a first time author. I anticipate with great pleasure his next work, a much needed history of the Battle of Atlanta.
Kirby Ross, editor of The Autobiography of Samuel S. Hildebrand: The Renowned Missouri Bushwhacker, will be a guest on Civil War Talk Radio on May 30.
