The author argues that the romanticized image of war we have now, was prevalent before the Civil War, and led to the massive bloodshed that ultimately disillusioned both the Union and the Confederacy. Through deeply researched accounts of both famous and forgotten figures, this book analyzes the cult of martyrdom, bravery, and honor as it manifested in the war. The author argues that while the war was ultimately futile and the goals of both the Union and Confederacy untenable, the people who fought did so for a reason, and that these reasons must be understood in context.
