Keith Rocco is one of the most prominent military artists in the world today. In his important new book, twenty-four full color vignettes and additional drawings, some published for the first time, tell the story of the war from the perspective of the soldiers who fought it. Stand with Stonewall Jackson at Manassas; learn the hazards of Outpost Duty and charge through the Cornfield at Antietam, or up the slopes of Little Round Top at Gettysburg. Whether he is depicting a dramatic moment in battle, or a quiet one in camp, Keith Rocco's art bridges the gap from past to present, allowing the viewer to become part of the experience. Narrative text by author and historian Robert I. Girardi accompanies each episode portrayed herein. Robert I. Girardi has conducted research for numerous historians, including Peter Cozzens, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., Theodore J. Karamanski, Noah Allen Trudeau, Robert Miller and has written articles and reviews for various Civil war publications. Robert is a past president of the Chicago Civil War Round Table,current vice president of the Salt Creek Civil War Round Table and is a member of three others in the Chicago area. He is a fellow of the Company of Military Historians and is an associate member of the Sons of Union Veterans. Robert has edited/authored six books, including The Soldier's View: The Civil War Art of Keith Rocco (Military History Press, Berkeley, 2004).
