This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War by Drew Gilpin FaustMy review
rating: 2 of 5 stars
This Republic of Suffering is a dry, academic treatise on death and dying during the American Civil War. If you are looking for an academic text, this might be the book for you. I found it dull and difficult going as general-purpose reading material. In fact, after several attempts I was unable to get very far and finally gave up. Save it for the classroom.
