ISBN-13: 978-0-8071-7198-1, ISBN: 0-8071-7198-0

"In recent years, Civil War veterans have emerged from the darkness of historical obscurity. Inspired by the recent interest in memory studies and energized by the ongoing neo-revisionist turn, a rich new literature has given the lie to the once obligatory lament that the postbellum lives of Civil War soldiers were irretrievable. Yet despite this flood of historical scholarship, basic questions about the essential character of Civil War ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8071-6977-3, ISBN: 0-8071-6977-3

"New developments in Civil War scholarship owe much to removal of artificial divides by historians seeking to explore the connections between the home front and the battlefield. Indeed, scholars taking a holistic view of the war have contributed to our understanding of the social complexities of emancipation--of freedom in a white republic--and the multifaceted experiences of both civilians and soldiers. Given these accomplishments, rese ..."






Unholy Sabbath(1st Edition)

ISBN-13: 978-1-61121-088-0, ISBN: 1-61121-088-7

"Many readers of Civil War history have been led to believe the battle of South Mountain (September 14, 1862) was but a trifling skirmish, a preliminary engagement of little strategic or tactical consequence overshadowed by Antietam’s horrific carnage just three days later. In fact, the fight was a decisive Federal victory and important turning point in the campaign, as historian Brian Matthew Jordan argues convincingly in his fresh inte ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-87140-782-5, ISBN: 0-87140-782-5

"Led by the likes of T. Harry Williams and Bell Irvin Wiley, a profusion of popular books began exploring the experiences of common Civil War soldiers. Likewise, professional historians began rethinking the Civil War in light of the nation's victory in World War II. Although itself fragile, the postwar consensus papered over any doubts about the meaning of the Civil War. It was a “good war,” fought for a noble purpose by hale and he ..."
