5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating journal of Civil War life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Civil War Journal and Selected Letters of Thomas Wentworth Higginson (Hardcover)
Bravo to Christopher Looby for recognizing the importance of these diaries and bringing them to our attention. Higginson's thoughts and feelings about war and the men under his command unfold to portray a quiet hero. Against the dual backdrops of military horror and social conflict, Higginson's discussions of his men and his relationships with them are sensitive and surprising. Letters to his family offer an interesting glimpse of family roles while underscoring Higginson's essential humantity. Looby's notes provide thoughtful comment. Stunning job. This is an excellent book. |
