Book Review

More Than a Contest between Armies: Essays on the Civil War Era. Ed. by James Marten and A. Kristen Foster. (Kent: Kent State University Press, 2008. xii, 309 pp. $35.00, ISBN 978-0-87338-912-9.)

More Than a Contest between Armies collects expanded versions of a dozen lectures delivered at Marquette University as part of a series to celebrate the legacy of Frank L. Klement. The title echoes Klement's belief that the Civil War affected more than just the men on the battlefield, that its effects were broad and deep on the home front and during Reconstruction and beyond. These lectures were delivered by many of the field's best-known and most celebrated scholars—among them Edward L. Ayers, David W. Blight, Catherine Clinton, Gary W. Gallagher—especially those who have worked to reach across scholarly boundaries to a wider reading public. The lectures are loosely organized in a chronological way according to their subjects, but they were delivered between 1992 and 2005, offering a look at how the field shifted in these more-than-a-dozen years.
