Title: Unique essays on the Civil War
Review: This is an interesting and accessible book for anyone interested in the Civil War. In a series of reflections on various aspects of the battle of the Wilderness, Cushman explores the nature of war representation and the fascination that the war continues to hold over a hundred years after Appomattox. He weaves in personal experience and primary documents, using prose that is both personal, even idiosyncratic, and fluid. He is a wonderful writer, and the book will make you think about the Civil War and its legacy in new ways.
