Reimagining one of the oldest genres of Civil War history, this book engagingly presents the story of the war and its aftermath through the lens of a single regiment, the Sixth Wisconsin. Marshaling a vast archive, James Marten has crafted a compelling and highly original biography of the Sixth Wisconsin in war and peace.

“Marten skillfully recaptures the world of the Sixth Wisconsin regiment in all its diversity. He deftly handles military operations and combat with just the right combination of strategic and tactical detail. And he vividly recaptures the humanity of the common soldier, from suffering to frolic and from remembrance to recrimination.”–George C. Rable, University of Alabama

James Marten is professor of history emeritus at Marquette University. He is author or editor of many books, including Sing Not War: The Lives of Union and Confederate Veterans in Gilded Age America.
