A Prussian Observes the American Civil War

The Art of Command in the Civil War
by
The military history of the Civil War has tended to focus on such issues as tactics, courage under fire, and which leader was capable of the bold stroke (Lee) and which one wasn't (McClellan). Overlooked in these important issues is the matter of command itself: mastery of the resources required for successful military action. In this work seven experts examine particular instances of command problems - such as supply, military discipline, and effective relations with subordinate commanders - and show how a general's handling of the problem illustrates an important feature of Civil War leadership.

For Cause and Comrades
by James M. McPherson
Why did the conventional wisdom - that soldiers become increasingly cynical and disillusioned as war progresses - not hold true in the Civil War?. It is to this question - why did they fight - that James M. McPherson, America's preeminent Civil War historian, now turns his attention. He shows that, contrary to what many scholars believe, the soldiers of the Civil War remained powerfully convinced of the ideals for which they fought throughout the conflict. McPherson draws on more than 25,000 letters and nearly 250 private diaries from men on both sides. Civil War soldiers were among the most literate soldiers in history, and most of them wrote home frequently, as it was the only way for them to keep in touch with homes that many of them had left for the first time in their lives. Significantly, their letters were also uncensored by military authorities and are uniquely frank in their criticism and detailed in their reports of marches and battles, relations between officers and men, political debates, and morale. For Cause and Comrades lets these soldiers tell their own stories in their own words to create an account that is both deeply moving and far truer than most books on war.
Immortal Captives
by Mauriel P. Joslyn
Immortal Captives is two books in one. Mauriel Joslyn has used the story of 600 Confederate prisoners of war to provide insight into the larger questions about prisoner of war issues in the Civil War. Combining original scholarship with full quotations from the participants in the events she describes, she has created both a memorial to the captured officers who came to be held at Fort Pulaski, Georgia and a good history. The policies of President Abraham Lincoln, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, in addition to those of lower ranking Union leaders come under reevaluation in this story. The Union deliberately chose 600 Confederate officers from fourteen Southern states for its policy of retaliation. Against humanity, those officers were forced to face the artillery fire of their comrades when they were placed in a stockade in Charleston Harbor from August to October of 1864. Their ordeal continued when they were moved to Fort Pulaski for the winter. The last of them were not released until July 1865, months after the war ended.
