Bøger af Joseph Allan Frank

In this groundbreaking study of what motivated soldiers to enlist and fight in the US's most bloody conflict, Joseph Allan Frank argues that politics was central to the development of the armies of the North and South: motivating soldiers, molding the organisation, defining the qualifications of officers, shaping fighting styles, and framing the nature of relations between the army and society.

This book invites the reader to embark with the soldiers and civilians on their journey into the murderous events of the Civil War. Drawing on letters, diaries, recent books and articles in history, and multidisciplinary sources, it places the events in a broader perspective.
