Larry Desotell has taken a small corner of the Civil War and put it under the microscope. The result is a uniquely compelling rarrative that is part regimental history, part campaign history, part chronicle of t he prisoner of war experience, and part commentary on the meaning of the war and how the memory of those who fought for the Confederacy continue to provoke controversy in modern times.
Book cover note by Robert L. Girardi, Civil War historian and author of The Civil War Generals and The New Annals of the Civil War.
