      abstract = {In 1943, Bell Wiley's groundbreaking book Johnny Reb  launched a new area of study: the history of the common  soldier in the U.S. Civil War. This anthology brings  together landmark scholarship on the subject, from a 19th  century account of life as a soldier to contemporary work  on women who, disguised as men, joined the army. One of the  only available compilations on the subject, The Civil War  Soldier answers a wide range of provocative questions: What  were the differences between Union and Confederate  soldiers? What were soldiers' motivations for joining the  army-their "will to combat"? How can we evaluate the  psychological impact of military service on individual  morale? Is there a basis for comparison between the  experiences of Civil War soldiers and those who fought in  World War II or Vietnam? How did the experiences of black  soldiers in the Union army differ from those of their white  comrades? And why were southern soldiers especially drawn  to evangelical preaching? Offering a host of diverse  perspectives on these issues, The Civil War Soldier is the  perfect introduction to the topic, for the student and the  Civil War enthusiast alike.
