This book tells the stories of eighteen of the million or so soldiers and sailors who served in the armed forces of the United States during the American Civil War. In marked contrast to the usual campaign and battle histories, this book presents the war from the point of view of the individuals who fought it - not the generals, but the captains, lieutenants, sergeants and privates. Chosen to represent the wide variety of activities, adventures and ordeals experienced by Federal soldiers and sailors, the stories of these men afford the reader a colourful insight into the way they lived, fought and died - including induction, uniform, equipment, training, drill, duties, living conditions, rations, foraging, skirmishing, siege warfare, garrison duties, patrols, sickness, combat, injury and much more. These men are authentic representatives of their period and circumstances, at once unique and typical. Together they provide a graphic portrait of the individuals who won Lincoln's war to keep the United States of America united.

In late 1944, 78 U.S. Navy sailors and officers climbed aboard a ship just 150 feet long and 23 feet wide, and headed toward the sound of gunfire. One of a class of gunboats known as "mighty midgets," LCS 52 carried an arsenal equal to ships twice its size. Yet its shallow draft enabled it to maneuver to within a few hundred feet of any beach. Packed inside the tiny craft, the diverse crew were farmers, students, cooks and teachers. They ranged from age 17 to middle-aged--a few had seen combat in the Atlantic and the Pacific. This book tells the story of the ship's extensive service in World War II's Pacific Theater. Most of the crew survived the war, as did LCS 52 itself, serving in the U.S. Navy and Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force until 1958, when it was decommissioned and used for artillery practice. A roll call of crew members is included, with biographical information when available.
