In the Ranks comprises of personal, eyewitness accounts of the
American Civil War: the state of the battles; the realities of the
technology and equipment; encampments and skirmishes of that
conflict. A collection of stunning first-hand recollections of the
conflict, we hear various unabashed and frank summaries of the
battles and campaigns of that conflict. The chaos and randomness of
war, and how many of the events happened essentially through
fortune or accident rather than sound and careful planning, is a
recurring theme throughout the text. Comprised of veterans'
recollections, often the descriptions are bloody and violent - it
is clear that the ordinary soldier was subject to terrifying
sights. An underappreciated classic of the U.S. Civil War era, In
the Ranks is neither an edifying or glory-filled read. Rather it is
a frank, realistic and forthrightly violent recounting of
day-to-day fighting.
