Description:
Brassey's (UK) Ltd. Very Good/Very Good. 2001. First Edition. Hard Cover. 4to 1857533119 The American Civil, 1861-1865, is an excellent starting point for this new series, providing particularly poignant material as countryman fought countryman, and sometimes brother fought brother in a bitter and confusing series of encounters. Concentrating on the life and times of the common soldier, The Soldiers Story: The American Civil War explores the long passages of boredom between action, the uniforms, the weapons, relations with officers and civilians, as well as the minutiae of hygiene, rations, and ablutions. Above all it looks at the actual bloody combat: nearly three million men fought in the four-year war and about 660,000 died. Beautifully illustrated with a wealth of colour photographs, The Soldiers Story: The American Civil War makes an important contribution to Civil War literature. .
