Thoughtful students, and many casual readers, will recognize the those whose comments are quoted below are acknowledged as among the eminent (and sometimes politely critical), contemporary elder statesmen and pundits of the current literature of the American Civil War. It may be of interest to the general public to know that each of the commentators has long since attained business success, while pursuing in his separate spare time the same earnest and worthwhile hobby. Their cumulative - and often joint - studies and efforts have produced some of the most accurate and readable Civil War material that has blessed this generation of inquiring readers. Monroe Cockrell was for some years a senior Vice President of Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Company; Carl Haverlin is President of Broadcast Music, Inc.; Robert Henry, after long tenure, has recently resigned as Executive Vice President of the American Association of Railroads; and John R. ("Rebel") Peacock has established a business and dynasty in North Carolina which writes so much insurance that some of his competitors are thinking about invoking the Sherman Act.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Fair
