The War Outside My Window by Janet Croon
Captures the spirit and the character of a young privileged white teenager witnessing the demise of his world even as his own body is slowly failing him. LeRoy Gresham will now be remembered as a young voice of the Civil War South.
It is a sign of Croon’s accomplishment as an editor that, by this point, the reader really does not care all that much about the larger world of the ill-fated Confederacy, so completely does this diary take us into the pathos and pity of a more private world that really blots out the war outside its window* Social History of Medicine *
