Description

Book Synopsis
Combines military and environmental history to forge a comprehensive new narrative of the American Civil War's significance and impact. As the authors reveal, the conflict created a new disease environment; led to large-scale modifications of the landscape; and sparked new thinking about the human relationship to the natural world.

Trade Review
As evidenced in the book, Civil War environmental history continues to perform a valuable service through highlighting and deepening our knowledge and appreciation of the many connections between the natural world and the Civil War's military and home fronts. In this manner, Browning and Silver's synthesis convincingly treats the war as an 'ecological event' as well as a clash between armies and societies.--Civil War Books and Authors

For scholars of the Civil War, this book adds a fresh perspective, illustrating how ecology, nature, and weather had a striking and unpredictable effect upon military preparedness and the waging of war.--Library Journal
