Octavo original half gray cloth original dust jacket. $4200.First edition of JacksonÕs bleakly satirical novel inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: ""For Eleanor and Franklin affectionately Shirley.""Appearing only one year before her classic horror novel The Haunting of Hill House 1959 Shirley Jackson's Sundial shares that work's psychologically thrilling approach to terror in its own story of 12 people living in an isolated mansion awaiting the prophesied end of the world. It is a tale that again confirms Jackson's ""jeweler's eye for the microscopic degrees by which a personality creeps into madness"" Jonathan Letham Salon ""written with the kind of humor that would make a guillotine laugh"" Victor LaValle Slate. Jackson was as The New York Times observed always ""a true storyteller with a rich and haunted imagination and she could walk unafraid in regions where love and murder have each other's names and speak each other's tongues.""

Esposito and his staff present clearly and concisely, ., the events of the military campaigns and the factors that influenced the course of action and the outcome of the civil War. The battle maps do not merely portray static situations; they are dynamic, with many map sequences clearly showing the movements of the opposing forces from day to day, sometimes from hour to hour. Moreover, each map is accompanied by text on the opposite page; while the theme is developed in the map, this supplementary narrative explains and comments on the situation pictured. The nineteen major campaigns of the war are carefully detailed in this manner. Explanatory symbols in color make clear troop movements, time sequences, numerical strength of units, boundaries, fortifications, and all the other elements necessary for an understanding of the strategies and tactics involved in the campaigns and specific battles." Chronological chart, large bibliography, plus maps of the Colonial wars, Revolutionary War, 1812, Mexicqn war,
