Summary: Surprised
Comment: To me the book was written very well but their seemed to be something missing. I enjoyed reading about the accounts and mishappenings of the doctors and reading about how their court hearings went but in the same breath it would also have been much more appealing to me if the author would have given more detail about the actual war. However though thats just my opinion and it is still a good book.

Summary: Doctors in Trouble - Civil War Style
Comment: This is an excellent book for the Civil War medical reenactor. It traces the court marshals of Union Doctors for various offenses. The Authors not only provide the facts of the case but commentary as to the validity of the case against the specific doctor. Their search of the court cases during the Civil War provide new insights into the difficulties of the Union Doctors in caring for not only the wounded and sick of their own regiments but that of others. Many times the situations were out of the hands of the doctor that caused their downfall. Very readable in about 3-4 hours, it provides a perspective not provided by any other book to date. The authors' research and organization of the cases are to be complemented. I own over 200 books on Civil War medicine, this one is a must for the serious medical reader of the age.
