The American Civil War: The Soldier's Story

By Hans Halberstadt

The American Civil War was a particularly poignant conflict, with countryman fighting countryman and sometimes brother against brother, giving a cruel twist to the usually heightened motions of wartime. The narrative of THE The American Civil War: The Soldier's Story is provided by the voices of ordinary fighting men, starting with their enlistment and moving on to their training, their entry into battle, and their final cease-fire or death. The text is lavishly illustrated with archival photographs, many never before published, that provide a unique view of the way the war was fought.This beautifully produced book, a tribute in words and pictures, confronts the reader with the physical and mental state of the common soldier.
