Summary: Great gift!
Comment: I bought this for my father in-law who loves civil war stuff. He told me to go ahead and renew it for a 2nd year. Since they like to camp and travel, he said he also reads the ads in the mag for places to visit and plans on going to a few. Definately a great gift for someone hard to buy for.

Summary: I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE!!!
Comment: I am 11 years old and I just started reading this magazine. Right from the beginnning I was captivated! America's Civil War goes into the not very well known details of the Civil War. I recommend this magazine for people who already have a really good sense of Civil War history, but those who don't will still love it. The articles are very engaging. If you like any history from the Punic War to World War II, you'll love this magazine!

Summary: Poorly edited historical rubbish
Comment: Truth-be-told, I hated "HAVING" to give this magazine even one star, but that was the least I could do via this rating system. This magazine has some good writers but needs a new editor. Mr. Shoaf is very bad at his job, clearly, and seems to use and reuse the "buddy system" in using writers. Perhaps he gets a kickback? At any rate, this is, overall, a cruddy example of journalism. My facts tell me it should fall under fiction rather than nonfiction in many issues. I am done with it. Get a new editor and perhaps I will reinvestigate the publication. Until then, so long. I have no time for absolute rubbish!

Summary: A wonderful magazine for Civil War buffs!
Comment: I've been a faithful subscriber to "America's Civil War" since 1993, and I'd say that it's easily one of the best history-related magazines in existence. I read each issue cover-to-cover, even the letters to the editor. Long after I first started studying the Civil War almost 15 years ago, I'm still learning a lot from this and other magazines like "Civil War Times Illustrated" (which is also great). In each issue of "America's Civil War" you can find a variety of articles in the following categories: personality (which focuses on a specific soldier of officer), eyewitness to war (great first-hand accounts from both soldiers and civilians), men and materiel (weapons and equipment), reviews, commands (focuses on individual units), preservation (of artifacts and historic sites), and of course several articles which can cover a wide range of topics, from battles and leaders to politics and slavery. Although I wish more would be written about the neglected Western Theater, I feel that the articles cover most aspects of the war very well. I love the artwork and outstanding maps that accompany the articles. And, "America's Civil War" is all about pleasing the readers. Back in 1997 I mailed in a questionnaire from "America's Civil War" after writing that my favorite issue had a great article on the famous Irish Brigade. A few months later a new article on the Irish Brigade (by the very same author) appeared in their magazine and I was very impressed by this. Bottom line: if you are a Civil War buff this magazine is just what you need!

Summary: Magazine is interesting, the subscription was bogus.
Comment: I found the magazine to have interesting stories and history. The part I didn't care for was the way in which my subscription was sent. I received all of my years worth of issues in about three months. They sent me several back issues which was a little annoying.
