Shell shock, battle fatigue, posttraumatic stress disorder, lack of
moral courage: different terms for the same mental condition,
formal names that change with observed circumstances and whenever
experts feel prompted to coin a more suitable descriptive term for
the shredding of the human spirit. Although the specter of
psychological dysfunction has marched alongside all soldiers in all
wars, always at the ready to ravish minds, rarely is it discussed
when the topic is America’s greatest conflict, the Civil War. Yet
mind-destroying terror was as present at Gettysburg and Antietam as
in Vietnam and today in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drawing almost
exclusively from extensive primary accounts, Dennis W. Brandt
presents a detailed case study of mental stress that is exceptional
in the vast literature of the American Civil War. Pathway to Hell
offers sobering insight into the horrors that war wreaked upon one
young man and illuminates the psychological aspect of the War
Between the States.
