Blood and Glory: The Civil War in Color

The Civil War, one of the most defining moments in the history of America, tore the nation apart, pitting North against South--brother against brother. Over the course of four years, more than 750,000 military and civilian lives were sacrificed to make the United States a more perfect union, where human rights of every person are guaranteed. With unprecedented access to government and private archives and using state-of-the-art technology, over 500 rare and compelling black and white photographs have been painstakingly colorized to illustrate the store of the Civil War in breathtaking detail.
