5.0 out of 5 stars Best Andersonville diary I ever read, 4 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: John Ransom's Andersonville Diary (Berkley Trade Pbk) (Paperback)
John Ransom holds back any unnecessary fancy writing and gets to the point. Unfortunately for the 20th century reader, it was published in the 19th century, when censorship in print was at an all time high, so we don't get to read about every vulgarity that he saw while in that deathcamp, and he admits to the reader that some of what he is seeing is undescribable. Even so, I highly recommend it. I even cried at the end (I'm a girl).

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding personal history, 27 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: John Ransom's Andersonville Diary (Berkley Trade Pbk) (Paperback)
This is simply the best Civil War personal history I have ever read. It is at the same time depressing and uplifting. The struggle, humor, and horror of the situation is amply described. John Ransom lived an entire lifetime in a little over a year spent as a prisoner. It is history presented as it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping account of one of America's most shameful events., 26 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: John Ransom's Andersonville Diary (Berkley Trade Pbk) (Paperback)
One of the best books I have read. The account Mr. Ransom provides is detailed in the suffering incurred by the prisoners. I was amazed by the dedication to the cause by men facing such extreme circumstances. Such integrity and discipline is a credit to all American's as much as the conditions were a shame.
