The Generals’ Civil War: What Their Memoirs Can Teach Us Today
By Stephen Cushman
Cushman never fully demonstrates his argument that Civil War memoirs led to the emphasis on individual actors, rather than the collective people, as the touchstones of Americans’ reflections on their “self” thereafter.

A fascinating tour de force of scholarship. |
