As one of Chavez' former secretaries, it was interesting to see Cesar's very personal, conversational speaking style analyzed so diligently. In addition, readers see Cesar in the context of his work with farm workers and the general public, which he approached for support of the grape, lettuce, and other boycotts. While a plum piece of reading for academicians, it warrants reading by anyone interested in Cesar and his speaking style--such a person might find the work weighty and often repetitious. There's no question, though, nothing more thorough has been published about the man so far. The material is helpful for my own upcoming books on my friendship with Cesar.

This book has a lot of history in it and Cesar chavez is important to me.Im doing a history day project on him and its due tomarrow and this gives away more than what i need!...

From detailed reviews of the top one hundred web sites devoted to World War II facts and history to five-star content ratings, and tips on how to locate the use the best information, World War II On The Web is a specific title which may hold a relatively short shelf life as an internet reference, but which soundly imparts the basics on how to search out and analyze a web-based history site for maximum results. Highly recommended!

Very well done. Logically laid out and easy to use. CD-ROM attachment is very helpful.

I found myself skipping the profiles and going straight to the sites and am disappointed that the number of sites are limited . . . of course they are only profiling the best. It does cover a very broad number of topics.

A good effort but they barely scratched the surface. I had a better time working the link lists at major sites.

Anyone who has lost themselves in the web searching for Civil War information know that the amount, quantity, and accessibility of material can, and does, fascinate and frustrate. Sites that looked promising turn into dead ends, information presented can be of dubious quality and, most of all, the sheer volume of material can consume many tedious hours. The Civil War on the Web highlights the best sites, and will save this researcher much valuable time. Civil War enthusiasts will also enjoy the authors' essays and summaries for the insight they provide on the state of scholarship today. A must for anyone curious about the war who has access to the internet!

My wife got me this book for my birthday. I'm a big Civil War buff and even I found sites in this book that I never would have found otherwise. I found so much to read on the Civil War on the web through this book its like getting a 100 books (for the price of one). Plus, there is a CD that makes linking to the sites even easier. If you know someone who likes the Civil War, this is the book for them.
