Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Cecily N. Zander’s The Army under Fire is a pathbreaking study focusing on the fierce political debates over the size and use of military forces in the United States during the Civil War era. It examines how prominent political figures interacted with the professional army and how those same leaders misunderstood the value of regular soldiers fighting to reunify the fractured nation.

“<strong>Strange Bedfellows: Radical Republicans & Redeemer Democrats v. The United States Army</strong>
A reader with interest in the Civil War, Reconstruction, and western conquest will feel welcomed into this book and enriched as Dr. Zander helps us see those parts of our history through a novel lens, heretofore neglected by historians. The Army Under Fire is an entertaining and instructive military history. For academic and general readers, Dr. Zander provides a useful and necessary clarification of the role of the regular army of the United States in 18th century events. Historians sometimes need to supplement what has been left for us by pulp novelists and filmmakers, and Dr. Zander provides that historian’s corrective in an engaging way.”
