The Mississippi author's monumental narrative history of the Civil War, though somewhat lacking in rigor and unfortunately prone to Lost Cause sentimentalism, remains one of the most readable general histories of the conflict. Foote was a major contributor to Ken Burns' 1990 documentary series The Civil War, and this work, while not precisely the source for Burns's film, was highly touted at the time as an essential companion ot the series.
