Combat The Civil War (1994) By Don Congdon
 
Many books have been written about the Civil War, its economic effects, its political causes, and its relationship to western expansion. But the real fascination of the war is the story of combat. This book tells the story in the words of men who actually marched into battle. We share their experiences, fears, and moments of bravery at Vicksburg, onboard the Monitor, at Gettysburg, and at the bloody battle of Antietam.
 
Eyewitness accounts are interspersed with brief commentaries by some of our most respected historians, who illuminate the accounts by placing them in their proper context. Those seeking one volume that tells the whole story of the war coherently need to look no further.
 
Combat: The Civil War is a gritty, readable history. Immediate and informative, here is that rare work that actually brings the struggles and characters of the past to life.
