Donald R. Shaffer. After the Glory: The Struggles of Black Civil War Veterans. (Modern War Studies.) Lawrence: University Press of Kansas. 2004. Pp. 281. $34.95.

This informative monograph traces the postbellum lives of the black soldiers whose experiences during the Civil War have received extensive attention in recent years. The well-chosen focus illuminates the racial order during and after Reconstruction by closely examining a relatively well-documented group of ordinary African Americans, and it significantly enriches the scholarship that has explored the meanings of the war from the perspective of the veterans who embodied its legacy. As its title pun implies, the scholarly sequel to the movie Glory (1989) is more subdued than cinematic, but the story features many interesting characters and some important surprises.
