I got this book because I love to read about the Civil War and was looking forward to reading about what I knew was a bad situation near the end of the war. It was educational but at the same time horrifying. The conditions at Andersonville prison where awful. The author warns the reader prior to the start of the book that some of what they are about to read is disturbing. I found that to be so even though the author was telling the story of a historical event.
I found the book hard to read for long periods of time and several times I almost did not finish the book but I am glad that I did. I had a hard time making a connection with any of the the characters so that I was really cared about their personal outcome.
