Romanticism is as rife in Civil War history as any other and may
produce more than its share of drums and trumpets writing that
glosses over the fear, pain, and death that are inevitable
components of all warfare. The essays that make up this collection
seek to act as corrective to such celebratory history by carefully
examining some of the unpleasant realities that marked combat in
the Civil War - when industrial and technological warfare came of
age, at a time when medical care, sanitation, diet, and other
modern adaptations to industry were still in their infancy. In
addition to an introduction, an afterword, and an essay on the
'Numbers' by editor Gramm, Paul Fussell contributes a powerful
essay on 'The Culture of War'; D. Scott Hartwig examines the face
of battle at Gettysburg; Bruce A. Evans discusses 'Wounds, Death,
and Medical Care in the Civil War' ; Eric T. Dean rethinks the
meaning and consequences of combat in 'The Awful Shock and Rage of
Battle' ; and Alan T. Nolan looks at the national consequences of
battle and the resultant myth of the Lost Cause.
