-Civil War Book Review

"No other book combines the cultural and social history of Civil War veterans, north and south, like Marten's Sing Not War. Beautifully written and deeply researched, this book captures a fresh perspective of veteran's lives, revealing their personal and distinctive experiences as they returned home after the war. A vivid, compelling, and original study that provides surprising new information about 'Johnny Reb' and 'Billy Yank.'"--Joan Waugh, author of U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth Marten explores how, after the Civil War, the white Confederate and Union army veterans reentered--or struggled to reenter--the lives and communities they had left behind. Marten's book counters the romanticized vision of the lives of Civil War veterans, bringing forth new information about how veterans were treated and how they lived out their lives.
