Some allowance has to be made for the fact that this was written in 1943, but it nonetheless remains a classic of social history. An interesting, well-documented and entertaining examination of the common soldier of the Civil War. This volume is on "Johnny Reb" (Southern soldiers), but Wiley also authored an equally interesting look at "Billy Yank."
