This was another unique addition to the Time-Life Civil War series. I felt this book showed both the human spirit and human suffering that cost the lives of so many. This book specifically examines the life of the soldier on both sides. I learned women masqueraded as men to serve their nation (pg. 27), Native Americans volunteered to fight (pg. 31), and blacks answered the call to arms in the war between the States. Camp life (Chapter 2) was examined at great length and gave a colorized photographic segment on uniforms, and gear worn by both sides, pg. 72-77. The ravages of war, battlefield surgical tools, and life of POWs are in this book.There are lots of photographs, family portraits, and sketches portraying the life of the fighting men. I would highly recommend this book to readers of the American Civil War. Thanks!
