Unholy Fire

Unholy Fire by Robert J. Mrazek. Second lay down of the summer. This book, in the first 20 or 30 pages reminded me why I don't read much about the Civil War. It was an extremely brutal war and the blood and gore was probably more up close and personal that other wars. Most Civil War authors, especially novelists, tend to dwell on the gore. Not for me.

You might want to read Stephen Sears two book on the Civil War: The Landscape Turned Red (Antetim) and Gettysburg (topic is obvious). Sears is very readable and makes the tactics/stragtegies of both sides understandable.
