Mail packets even crossed enemy lines. A surprising number of soldiers could write, and they filled countless letters and journals, describing with painstaking accuracy the bloody scenes of battle, their feelings and ideals, their doubts and desperation. This full-cast audio production, based on the Time Life Book series Voices of the Civil War, brings to life a selection of these writings by seasoned officers and raw recruits alike, offering firsthand insight into the shattering human toll of the Civil War.
