The Uncivil War: Irregular Warfare in the Upper South, 1861–1865. By Robert R. Mackey. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2004. xii, 288 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-8061-3624-3.)

The past few decades have seen the emergence of a body of scholarship on irregular warfare in the Civil War that has enriched our understanding of the war in its social, cultural, and military dimensions. In The Uncivil War, Robert R. Mackey offers three case studies that examine the forms irregular warfare took in the upper South. The first looks at the effort to conduct a guerrilla, or people's, war in Arkansas; the second considers partisan warfare as practiced by John Singleton Mosby in Virginia; and the third examines the raiding operations of Confederate regular cavalry commanded by John Hunt Morgan and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Each case study consists of two chapters. The first describes and analyzes the Confederate effort; the second examines the ultimately successful Union efforts to counter the Southern irregulars.
