Phantoms of a Blood-Stained Period The Complete Civil War Writings of Ambrose Bierce

"[T]he only truly honest writing to emerge from combat....An hour with this superbly edited volume will cure any Civil War buff....Bierce disdained the North's sanctimonious notion of the war as the Battle Cry of Freedom no less than the South's romantic idea of the Lost Cause; he saw the conflict as a meaningless and murderous enterprise....Here is exemplary American prose, and here is the real war--without uplift, without virtue, without purpose."Duncan, Russell is the author of 'Phantoms of a Blood-Stained Period The Complete Civil War Writings of Ambrose Bierce' with ISBN 9781558493285 and ISBN 155849328X.
