"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Catton's brilliance as a historian lay in his ability to bring to historical narrative the immediacy of reportage. A commission to write a Centennial History of the Civil War evolved into Catton's celebrated trilogy on the Army of the Potomac. Catton also has a Civil War trilogy ( Centennial History of the Civil War: The Coming Fury/Terrible Swift Sword/Never Call Retreat) and an Army of the Potomac Trilogy ( Mr Lincoln's Army/Glory Road/A Stillness at Appomattox). In 1954 he became a member of the staff of American Heritage magazine, and from 1959 he served as its senior editor. He subsequently worked for the Newspaper Enterprise Service (1926-41) and for the U.S. While he was employed as a reporter for the Boston American, the Cleveland News, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer (1920-26), Catton continued his lifelong study of the Civil War period.
His education at Oberlin College, Ohio, was interrupted by two years of naval service in World War I and was subsequently abandoned for a career in journalism. This trilogy has also been republished as a boxed set under the title Bruce Cattons Civil War. The 3-volume set includes The Coming Fury, Terrible Swift Sword, and Never Call Retreat.
