Infos

Originally published in 1998, Like Men of War was a groundbreaking early study of Black troops in the Civil War that is still considered a major contribution to the literature on the United States Colored Troops (USCT). In this chronological operational history, Trudeau covers every major engagementand a few minor onesthat the USCT participated in. By quoting generously from primary documents, including Black soldiers letters, Trudeau tells the combat history of African American troops in the Civil War largely through the voices of the soldiers themselves.This fresh, expanded second edition adds material on additional engagements and other aspects of Black soldiers experiences, and features a new selection of photographs. The updated bibliography is extensive, providing a rich selection of source materials for further study and exploration. Like Men of War is essential reading for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the US Civil War.
