Linderman traces each soldier's path from the exhilaration of enlistment to the disillusionment of battle to postwar alienation. He provides a rare glimpse of the personal battle that raged within soldiers then and now.

The stories Mamie Garvin Fields tells are amazing; she's so rich in her recollections and they're so detailed in the work she and others have done. It's a really great book. I will say that if you're looking for more analysis; Karen Fields's introduction and epilogue are pretty undertheorized and there's little to no analysis; which I think is fine for the book but may not be what you're looking for.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Jashane MorrisonGood read.5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Interesting readBy Mima CarolI'm still working on this one. It is a bit hard for me since I am white Southern and the authors are not. My family never owned slaves nor lived in an area that had many. We were and are poor; dirt farmers but proud that when we had extra help they were paid for their service and fed the same thing my uncles; aunts; and parents were by my grandmother every day. I feel bad for those descendants of slaves but glad that nobody in my family participated in this abomination. I hope to gain greater insight from this book.
