Union and Confederate men went to war as Americans, convinced they fought an un-American, savage enemy. The war they fought was as emotional and catastrophic as any in history, a violent crucible that forged a new national identity. \u003ci\u003eCivil War Soldiers\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh and compelling attempt to fathom the war's significance--then and now--and makes immediate the charged issues and bitter ironies of a nation torn by a conflict over the common ideals of liberty and justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on diaries and letters, the focus of this pioneering study is on the men who fought, caught up in a conflict whose causes and consequences seemed as complex and contradictory to the soldiers themselves as they do to us. Reid Mitchell re-creates their experience and discusses the questions one would have most wanted to ask them: Why did you fight? How did you feel about slavery and race? What did you take home from the war? What legacy have you left us? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Fresh insights, startling descriptions, and poignant human detail about the war from the men who fought it.\"--\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 7.77 x 5.11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47291155284217,"sku":"9780140263336","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/l-yUMD1org9780140263336_33ec3bda-0060-45e5-8809-ae935a762ad1.webp?v=1769156253","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/civil-war-soldiers-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
