520 $a"[The author] uses this key moment in Civil War history to address how soldiers and civilians react to the stress of war ... [The book] explores the human element in battle; the motivations, passions, and emotions of the people who fought on both sides. Using letters, diaries, and memoirs ... [the author] reveals what individuals can force themselves to do in the name of duty, patriotism, and dedication to a cause, or the ultimate fear of letting down friends"--Jacket.
