Title: Salisbury: A Civil War Death Camp in North Carolina
Review: Masterson's Salisbury: A Civil War Death Camp in North Carolina swiftly takes the reader into a romanticized view of war. Equally swiftly, the tone changes as the main character encounters the realities of war--dirt, disease, and death found on the battlefield and in prison life on our nation's soil. Courage, self-sacrifice, and luck determine survival. Like The Red Badge of Courage and All Quiet on the Western Front, the timelessness of the struggles in war remain a story told over and over, one necessary to read to remind ourselves of the liberties we have because of the sacrifices of others. A satisfying and memorable read!A. A.
