Omschrijving
Romanticism is as rife in Civil War history as any other and may produce more than its share of writing that glosses over the fear, pain, and death that are inevitable components of all warfare. The essays in this collection carefully examine some of the unpleasant realities that marked combat in the Civil War.
“Congratulations to Gramm and his contributors on their good work. Battle has greater cohesion than most collections of its kind. It will appeal to both specialists and general readers.” —Perry D. Jamieson, coauthor of Attack and Die: Civil War Military Tactics and the Southern Heritage
