During the Civil War, James Madison Page was a prisoner in different places in the South. Seven months of that time was spent at Andersonville. While there he became well acquainted with Major Wirz, or Captain Wirz, as he then ranked. Page takes the stand that Captain Wirz was unjustly held responsible for the hardship and mortality of Andersonville. It was his belief that the Federal authorities must share the blame for these things with the Confederates, since they well knew the inability of the Confederates to meet the reasonable wants of their prisoners of war, as they lacked a supply for their own needs, and since the Federal authorities failed to exercise a humane policy in the exchange of those captured in battle.The writer, "with malice toward none and charity for all," denies conscious prejudice, and makes the sincere endeavor to put himself in the other fellow's place and make such a statement of the matter in hand as will satisfy all lovers of truth and ju stice.

You may appreciate browsing this book while spent your free time. Theexpression in this word renders the reader seem to see and read this book again and still. This was not a "fun" book to read. It is necessary. It depicts the well known suffering that occurred at the Andersonville prison during the US civil war. It also seeks to dispel Yankee illusions about Confederate treatment of or attitude toward captured union soldiers (one man's account, not the final word). The author contends that given the destruction of Confederate food storage and transportation by union forces and the US government's unwillingness to exchange prisoners (supposedly receiving weak/almost dead ones from healthy ones), the starvation of union prisoners was almost as bad as that suffered by most southerners, including their soldiers. I am not defending this point of view although it does seem to make sense. Within the fabric of this story is the sad tale of a Captain Wirz, prison commandant who was accused of multiple war atrocities against union soldiers, for which he was hanged. The author contends that Wirz was either not stationed at the prison or in the hospital on the dates of the alleged atrocities to "unnamed" soldiers. He further contends that on multiple occasions, Wirz intervened on behalf of prisoners to improve prison conditions (to the best of his ability) and to resolve disputes that arise between very hungry men. The lesson to be learned from this book is not so much whether the South avoidably starved union prisoners but how out of control US government officials (Secy. of War Stanton) and an out of control new media in search of red meat can AND STILL DO pervert justice, civility and the rule of law in this country. Things aren't always the way they seem, what you Mama told you or what you want to believe. Six months and 160 witnesses were used to hang Wirz. The newspapers of the day singled him out as the sole cause of Andersonville prison abuse. Charges were unspecific. Little evidence tying prisoner starvation was tied to Wirz. Most if not all his accusers either recanted their testimony or were discredit ed AFTER he hung. Neither Secy. Stanton nor the newsmen of the day were held accountable for his wrongful death. When will we as a nation, so blessed with freedom, stand up when this freedom is abused? Read it and weep! An interesting book that shines a different light on Andersonville. The author was obviously very passionate about his beliefs in the relative powerlessness of Major Wirz to alleviate the horrific conditions. To that extent, he downplays some of the worse situations, which appear to be very well documented by others, and accuses them of lying for political or other reasons. Still there is some truth in what he says and it does show the politics of the aftermath of the Civil War. There was a clear push for vengeance and retaliation, one of the unfortunate consequences of the assassination of Lincoln.I had an ancestor that died at Andersonville. Oddly my ancestor had the same last name as the best friend of the author while he was there, but clearly it was not the same person. So I do have an interest in, and some historical knowledge, of Andersonville. This was an interesting sidenote. It should be read with other good books on Andersonville. Then you can make up your own mind.
