Wars Within a War by Joan Waugh
Comprised of essays from twelve leading scholars, this volume extends the discussion of Civil War controversies far past the death of the Confederacy in the spring of 1865. Contributors address, among other topics, Walt Whitman's poetry, the handling of the Union and Confederate dead, the treatment of disabled and destitute northern veterans, Ulysses S. Grant's imposing tomb, and Hollywood's long relationship with the Lost Cause narrative. The contributors are William Blair, Stephen Cushman, Drew Gilpin Faust, Gary W. Gallagher, J. Matthew Gallman, Joseph T. Glatthaar, Harold Holzer, James Marten, Stephanie McCurry, James M. McPherson, Carol Reardon, and Joan Waugh.
JOAN WAUGH is professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles and coeditor of the award-winning The Memory of the Civil War in American Culture (UNC Press). GARY W. GALLAGHER is John L. Nau III Professor in the History of the American Civil War at the University of Virginia.
