Civil War Book News

Civil War Book News has been updated halfway through April 2005 with more to come.
 
By the way, whew.
 
Lots of titles, especially with the small-run presses. Two things that struck me: (1) Rowan & Littlefield has jumped into ACW publishing with both feet. That's a major new force on the scene. (2) Random House is now diving into the more detailed, scholarly topics, witness Bleeding Blue and Gray: Civil War Surgery and the Evolution of American Medicine by Ira M. Rutkow. Is this a testing of the waters?
 
More observations later tonight - lots of interesting things happening in 2005 - if I can get myself mobilized after 8:00 pm.
