description: In "Embattled Courage", Gerald F. Linderman examines how Confederate and Union soldiers alike were drastically transformed by war, as they found the realities of battle alarmingly at odds with their expectations. By the end, profoundly disillusioned, once-idealistic soldiers were forced to call into question the nation's notion of courage - and an entire society's perception of the war in which they alone had fought.
