"The Civil War Centennial Handbook" by William H. Price is a historical account published in the mid-20th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the American Civil War, focusing on its emotional impact, military innovations, and the human stories that emerged from the conflict. The handbook serves as a commemorative piece marking the centennial of the war, analyzing its legacy and implications for the United States. The opening of the handbook introduces the Civil War not only as a tragic conflict between divided brothers but also as a transformative period that paved the way for modern warfare. Price highlights the emotional intensity of the era, noting how political ideals often transcended personal relations, and emphasizes the war’s technological advancements that influenced both military strategy and the industrial revolution in America.
