The modern journalist emerged for the first time in the American Civil War. This book analyzes the major campaigns and pivotal events of the Civil War and demonstrates how these trailblazing correspondents became a major factor in the military's long-standing distaste for the media.

A Bohemian Brigade by James M Perry

"Like the war itself, this is a story of remarkable personal drama." - New York Times Book Review "Highly engaging ...Perry has a special feel for his topic and a keen eye for detail." - Wall Street Journal The Civil War was the world's original instant--news war, made possible by the telegraph and steam power, which fueled the new big presses and the locomotives that transported journalists and armies at unheard--of speeds. James M. Perry examines the war, a free press, and the inevitable impact each had on the other. Focusing on the self--proclaimed "Bohemian Brigade," Perry assesses the performance of a ragtag band whose professional descendants remain controversial to this day. By turns deeply insightful and slyly amusing, here is an altogether new perspective on the Civil War through the lens of the colorful band of reporters who covered it. James M. Perry (Alexandria, VA) is Senior Political Writer Emeritus for the Wall Street Journal and author of Arrogant Armies (0--471--11976--8) (Wiley). He is a recipient of the prestigious Fourth Estate Award from the National Press Club for lifetime achievement in American journalism.
