Summary: A great look at the common Civil War soldier!
Comment: Author James Robertson has put together a very interesting book that considers many popular aspects of soldiering in the Civil War. Robertson hits strong topics such as enlisting, camp life, battle, prisons, religion, relationships, family, death and valor. This insightful information is backed by reference, great writing and also some humorous situations that Robertson assembles. This book was a pleasure to read and at times very educational. For the advanced historian, it may be a bit too generalized although a person with some basic knowledge of the war could benefit a great amount. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to understand the common soldier of the Civil War and looking to gain further insight.

Summary: Filled With Fantastic Facts
Comment: "Soldiers Blue And Gray" contains much information on the general aspects of the Civil War. Not directly covering any specific action or battle, it uses quotations from diaries and letters of the period to bring to life such topics as life in camp, prisoners of war, and medical conditions, while covering the point of view of both Union and Confederate soldiers. It is comparable in style to Wiley's "The Life of Billy Yank" and "The Life of Johnny Reb". Easily read and understood, and filled with many facts and figures, it should prove valuable to both the serious researcher and the casual reader.
