Review :
"Susannah J. Ural's Don't Hurry Me Down to Hades masterfully recounts the Civil War, relying on the voices of the people who experienced it. Her narrative captures its vastness and violence, moving North to South, battlefield to homefront, but also includes poignant moments of intimacy and loss... The result is a fresh and engaging account of the conflict." Lesley J. Gordon, Editor, Civil War History "Susannah J. Ural reminds us that the Civil War was fought by real people with families and deep emotional connections... This is the Civil War as lived experience, vibrantly and movingly written." Professor Anne Sarah Rubin, author of A Shattered Nation "Gracefully written and powerfully argued, Don't Hurry Me Down to Hades offers an eye-opening new perspective on the Civil War's social and cultural history." Professor Amy Murrell Taylor, author of The Divided Family in Civil War America "Taking her sources as her co-authors, Susannah Ural ferries us deep inside the maelstrom of the Civil War to its very heart, where we realize anew that war is not a sequence of battles but a vast mosaic of heart-rending family crises. Beautifully written, exhaustively researched, and highly recommended." Professor Steve Berry, author of House of Abraham "Compelling voices that will reward anyone seeking nuance rather than a simple narrative." Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Union War and The Confederate War Ural's fine combination of military history and personal saga uses original documents to excellent effect. - Publisher's Weekly
