Harold Sinclair
1959
This book really took me back to the days of the Civil War, and it's a gritty, honest look at the realities of that time. Hoffman does a fantastic job of weaving together personal stories with the larger historical context. It's a raw, no-nonsense look at the war that doesn't sugarcoat anything. The way he tells it, you can feel the weight of the battles and the deep respect for the men who fought. It's a powerful read that made me appreciate the true meaning of sacrifice and the brotherhood of soldiers.
