I would even rank it as one of the best Civil War books; period. Also check out Mitchell's other major work; "The Vacant Chair: the Northern Soldier Leaves Home"1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Excellent analysis of eyewitness accountsBy AradorCivil War Soldiers provides an excellent overview into the beliefs and mindsets of both Northern and Confederate soldiers. This book includes excerpts and snippets from soldier's primary sources; mostly letters and journals. Mitchell follows events from the motivations for men to enlist and the initial excitement and conviction of going to war through the Emancipation Proclamation; then through to the surrender of Lee and Lincoln's assassination. The reader really gets a feel for the soldier's conflicting justifications and complex emotional reactions to battle; looting; and experiences with civilians and African Americans. The hardships and deprivations that soldiers experienced are told from their own voices; the thrill of battle and the rage felt at fighting guerrilla forces. Glimpses are seen of prisons; pillaging; and civil interactions between enemies. Being a soldier in the Civil War was an emotional and mentally trying experience; Mitchell shows the complexity through the voices of those who fought in the war.
