The psychological aftereffects of war are not just a modern-day
plight. Following the Civil War, numerous soldiers returned with
damaged bodies or damaged minds. Drawing on archival materials
including digitized records for more than 70,000 white and
African-American Union army recruits, newspaper reports, and census
returns, Larry M. Logue and Peter Blanck uncover the diversity and
severity of Civil War veterans' psychological distress. Their
findings concerning the recognition of veterans' post-traumatic
stress disorders, treatment programs, and suicide rates will inform
current studies on how to effectively cope with this enduring
disability in former soldiers. This compelling book brings to light
the continued sacrifices of men who went to war.
