Publisher's Note (from the 1st Edition)
Terrible Swift Sword is Volume Two of a projected three volume work, The Centennial History of the Civil War. The first volume, The Coming Fury, was published in 1961.
The Centennial History of the Civil War is a project begun in 1955 by Doubleday Company, Inc., in conjunction with The New York Times. That newspaper is carrying articles based on the work.
Each book in the series may be read and understood separately. It is part of the original plan that the three volumes will constitute a modern history, based on the fullest as well as the most recent research....
___________________
Hard cover of gray cloth with silver lettering on the front. Spine is red cloth with a black title-block. Corners are sharp to lightly bumped, hinges are solid, spine has light wear at pressure points, head and heel. Front and back boards have some paper residue where the dust jacket became adhered to it (see pictures). This can be cleaned, if desired. I offer my books as I find them and leave any changes to a new owner, if desired. Spine is straight, Binding is tight.
Dust Jacket is poor with a strip torn at the spine and some chipping along the edges. Jacket states on the inside flaps that this title is a book of the month club selection, but this book is the STATED FIRST EDITION (see pictures). The back, inside flap is loose.
Book measures 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches and contains xi-559 pages, complete - no missing pages, no loose pages, no torn pages. The Map Section contains 17 Color Maps. Front end-papers make up a double-page Map of the United States and the Confederate States of America in 1862. Back end-papers make up a double-page Map of Virginia - 1862.
STATED FIRST EDITION.
