Abstract
All too often, wartime diaries suffer from hurried and brief entries that either lack valuable tactical detail or fail to offer much insight into the individual's awareness of the Civil War's larger themes. Fortunately, this is not the case with the diary of John Q. A. Campbell of the 5th Iowa Infantry. With this volume, historians Mark Grimsley and Todd D. Miller have brought to print the writings of a man who recorded his regiment's movements and engagements and expressed his personal views on the war's ultimate purpose with remarkable clarity.
