'War is All Hell is a no-holds-barred look at the American Civil War through the words of the people who endured it. Filled with more than 470 quotations from persons directly involved in the war and arranged with dozens of illustrations to convey the character of the war to present-day readers, it captures the thought and emotions of the times in a way that no ordinary history can do.
Here in their own words are the thoughts, emotions, and curses of a nation at war with itself. Drawing on the well-known leaders such as Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Davis, and Longstreet, it also contains a rich sampling of the common soldiers' observations and insights of the war. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction, highlighting significant events and describing the progress of the war. Both the eastern and western theaters are covered, with particular attention being paid to the great battlefield confrontations. The result is a surprisingly thorough coverage of the war's events and those who wore the blue and the gray.
COMMENTS FROM THE SOLDIERS:
"Were the thing to be done over again, I would do as I then did. Diasppointments have not changed my convictions."
--Jefferson Davis, in his Postwar Memoirs
"Mother, the fearful battle of Fredericksburg is over. The slaughter is terrible. The result disastrous. Until we have good generals, it is useless to fight battles. The loss is far greater than reported in the newspapers."
--Union soldier Henry Hastings Curran, 146th New York Infantry
