WAR SO TERRIBLE
A Popular History of the Battle of Fredericksburg

By Donald C. Pfanz

"It is well that war is so terrible," Gen. Robert E. Lee said at the Battle of Fredericksburg, "or we would grow too fond of it." The famous comment provides the title for a new account of the first instance of urban warfare in America and one of Lee's greatest victories. The author is Donald C. Pfanz, multiple award winner for two earlier books, Richard S. Ewell: A Soldier's Life and Abraham Lincoln at City Point.

War So Terrible includes 120 pages, four maps and more than 100 images from the archives of period photographs and artworks. The soft-cover book's 37 chapters, each complete in itself, together provide an engaging and insightful account of the people and events in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in December 1862.
