Book Description:

Although much is known about the political stance of the military at large during the Civil War, the political affiliations of individual soldiers have received little attention. Drawing on archival sources, John Matsui examines the ways in which individual politics were as important as military considerations to battlefield outcomes and how the experience of war could alter soldiers' political views.
