Andersonville

A Union soldier's true story of survival as a prisoner of war at the Confederacy's most notorious military internment camp. For men who endured the horrors of the Civil War, Andersonville Prison represented an even more terrifying level of hell. The prisoners starved while disease ran rampant. John McElroy was captured in battle and transferred to Andersonville. This is his eye-opening, bestselling account of his imprisonment in a place where one of every four men died. Diversion Books's Civil War Classics offer seminal works of the era: stories told by the men and women who led, who fought, and who lived in an America that had come apart at the seams.
