The first book to present the greatest photographs of the Civil War in the three-dimensional format in which they were originally taken and meant to be seen, The Civil War in Depth is a landmark contribution to both photographic history and the ever-popular study of the Southern rebellion. Author Bob Zeller resurrects a fascinating aspect of Civil War photography that has, until now, been largely forgotten, assembling more than 150 of the most compelling views of the war -- some of them well known in their one-dimensional form; all of them remarkable windows on another time. Complete with a stereoscopic viewer that unveils each image in glorious 3-D, The Civil War in Depth offers scenes that come to life in a way no two-dimensional photograph ever could. The remarkable collection includes the first war action photograph ever taken -- the shelling of Fort Sumter in 1863 -- as well as more than a dozen Civil War images never published until now. From the stoic face of Abraham Lincoln to the slave pens, prisons, wrecked battlefields, and devastated cities of the South, the war between the states has never been revealed with such astonishing clarity.

In a sport teeming with aggressive competitors, Rusty Wallace's commitment and drive are legendary. But few fans realize that Rusty's unyielding determination to race was already clear at the age of 16, when he got a court order to compete at his local St. Louis, Mo., track and won his very first race.
The story of Rusty's exciting and often difficult road to NASCAR glory is told in Rusty Wallace: The Decision To Win. Rusty and his family candidly recount each stage of his career, from his early years and his first attempt at Winston Cup in 1980, to his hard-won Winston Cup Championship in 1989 and his disappointing and controversial finish in the 1999 Daytona 500.

Rusty Wallace: A Decision to Win

Wallace, Rusty

With roots dating back to the earliest days of motor racing, the Daytona 500 isn’t just America’s most popular automobile race—it is an American institution. No other race is as widely followed by stock-car racing fans, and no driver’s record is fully complete without a 500 victory. 
When Lee Petty and Johnny Beauchamp roared side by side to the checkered flag in the inaugural race in 1959, they established a tradition of ultra-competitive racing that continues today. In this first official history of the Daytona 500, author Bob Zeller tells the complete story of more than forty years of close-quarters racing at the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway. With year-by-year chapters, he captures the competition, drama, and distinctive personalities of the racers. All of the great drivers are here, from Richard Petty, whose career at Daytona included an unrivalled seven 500 victories, to Dale Earnhardt, whose relentless pursuit of a Daytona 500 trophy would last decades until his triumph in 1998. 
The book also explains how changes in automotive technology, NASCAR rules, and competitive tactics have kept Daytona at the forefront of the racing world. Richly illustrated with hundreds of colorful photographs from the ISC Publications—Archives, Daytona 500: The Official History is the definitive record of the premier event in stock car racing.
