More than 60;000 books have been published on the Civil War. Most Americans; though; get their ideas about the war--why it was fought; what was won; what was lost--not from books but from movies; television; and other popular media. In an engaging and accessible survey; Gary W. Gallagher guides readers through the stories told in recent film and art; showing how these stories have both reflected and influenced the political; social; and racial currents of their times.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Must Read for MuseologistsBy ErinAs a first year graduate student studying museums with an interest in gender and sexuality this book completes the understanding of the history of museums; Queer history and the representation within museums. While I have not read every chapter (yet); each one enhances the foundation of museums that I am learning in class. Every chapter makes me wish two things; 1) that this was a part of the required reading for my intro class and 2) that I could re write all my papers this quarter. This is the source that I was looking for that would have made my arguments less "rants" and more "academic." Read it; you wont regret it!Gender; Sexuality and Museums: A Routledge Reader
