While I think that it is profound, it is only one aspect of the was ~ am looking for something that covers Andersonville as well as important battles, impact on the country as a whole and both sides seperately, involvement of other countries and how it all plays out when all is said and done (is all said and done?). That type of thing. I guess it doesn't matter that we don't have VCR or DVD since it is not our gift, but I think a book would be best.

Just thought your hubby might need to know war is not all about glory. ;-)
There are some great big books out there that are full of nothing but actual newspaper articles from the era.
You just need one of those lay over magnifyers to read them. :shock:
Try to stick more to a story about a given unit or action then a broad historical perspective. It will be a more interesting and first person perspective that way.
Do they sell at Barnes and Noble? I don;t have cc so can't order on line.....1848":3soeasyk said:Sorry, wasn't paying attention..(BiL)

Excellant choice. Stonewall by James I. Robertson Jr., is am outstanding biography of an outstanding American who lived and died during that period of American history. You may also, want to look at some of Shelby Foote's books. Lee's Lieutenants by Virgil Carrington Jones is aso a good book.MikeC":3fwcvl0q said:"Stonewall Jackson: The Man, the Soldier, the Legend"

Do you mean the "War of Northern Agression Against the South", or perhaps the "Southern Struggle for Independence"?
HA! ;-)
We went to Andersonville Prison a couple of years ago, where they also have the international POW/MIA museum as well..............Much like our trips to Auschwitz, and a few others..........was somber and thought provoking as to how humans are so willing to be either so barbaric to one another or most likely as in the the Andersonville situation, so apathetic, that conditions would become so desperate.....Did you know that the North had a like location in the swamps outside of Chicago? :cboy:
