G. Ward Hubbs. Guarding Greensboro: A Confederate Company in the Making of a Southern Community. Athens: University of Georgia Press. 2003. Pp. xv, 325. $34.95.

G. Ward Hubbs's well-written study of Greensboro, Alabama, contributes to a growing body of scholarship that is striving to better integrate the military, political, and social history of the Civil War South. The book tightly focuses on this Black Belt town and its militia, the Greensboro Guards. It is more than a unit history, however (though anyone interested in such topics will find rich material here). Instead, the book uses the Guards' history to explain the nature of Greensboro's community, particularly the ways that war transformed the society fighting it. He concludes that Greensboro's white citizens moved from being highly individualistic and self-interested during the heady days of the antebellum cotton and slavery boom to embracing a postwar community defined by a loyalty forged among white people by the war's shared sacrifice and suffering.
