I enjoyed reading this book in highschool. Basically the premise is that courage is percieved. Very applicable to this day and time sending soldiers to two fronts. Some soldiers being conflicted and wanting to come home. Being scared to die for something you don't believe in and going AWOL during the Civil War. Short Book. You can finish in a day.
