I read "The Judas Field" before this one - they will both break your heart.

Bahr is an adept writer who conveys the horror, history and "humanity" of the Civil War with restraint, making it all the more realistic.

I had never read any Civil War related books and especially fictionalized accounts, but these will stay with me for a long time.
