The book, Brothers In Arms: The Lives And Experiences Of The Men Who Fought The Civil War - In Their Own Words, focuses attention on the everyday stories of the men who took part in the American Civil War.  While many previous publications on the Civil War have centered on the war's causes, its battles and its aftermath very little has been written about the real life experiences of those most closely caught up in America's most tragic historical conflict.  "Brother In Arms" seeks to rectify this absence of information by focusing on the every day lives of the fighting soldiers of the Blue and Gray as revealed in their own words.  Facets of the Civil War soldier's everyday life include the excitement of enlistment, the life in camp and the horrors of battle.  The letters written and diaries kept by the soldiers of both the North and South are straightforward accounts of their lives and are tinged with the "sentimentality of their age".  Despite having been written over 130 years ago, these voices of soldiers past speak clearly of what it was like to have participated in the epic struggle of the American Civil War.  "Brothers In Arms" begins with an Introduction and ends with an Index & Bibliography.  The body of this publication contains the following chapters: 1) Nothing Left Now But To Fight; 2) From Civilians To soldiers; 3) Life In Camp; 4) The Leaders And The Led; 5) The Naval Conflict; 6) Prisoners Of War; 7) Bloody Work Ahead and 8) Countrymen Again.  In addition to an informative narrative, "Brothers In Arms" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 111 black and white vintage photographs and 2) About 110 color photographs.  This book is 144 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is William C.
