For Cause and Comrades by James M Mcpherson

For Cause and Comrades by James M Mcpherson

Drawing on letters written by over 1000 soldiers, both Union and Confederate, during the American Civil War, this book recreates the war and its battles. It finds the men to be idealistic about the cause for which they fought, regardless of the obstacles and deprivations that they faced.

In For Cause and Comrades the voices of the young men of the North and South sing out to us clearly, colorfully, compellingly, telling us what it was like for them -- the battles, the camps, the cold and hunger, the fear, the boredom, the despair, the triumphThis is an extraordinary book, full of fascinating details and moving self-portraits. * The Wall Street Journal *
