Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling firsthand account of a Confederate officer's harrowing experiences during the American Civil War. The author, a young soldier, recounts his daring escape from a Union hospital and his subsequent journey back to Confederate lines through enemy territory, a feat that earned him the moniker "the Andre of the Rebellion." He then vividly details his time at Andersonville, the infamous Confederate prisoner-of-war camp, drawing upon his experiences as a prison official to provide a detailed account of the camp's origins, the challenges of its operation, and the realities of prisoner life. The author, however, is quick to challenge the widespread perception of Andersonville as a symbol of Confederate brutality, offering an insider's perspective that suggests the camp's horrors were as much a product of logistical constraints and the cruelty of some prisoners as deliberate acts of cruelty by the Confederate government. The book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking look at the human costs of war, the complex reality of prisoner-of-war camps, and the historical narrative of the Confederacy.
