Book Review

Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia: Survival in a Civil War Regiment. By Scott Walker. (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2005. xx, 311 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-8203-2605-4.)

Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia deserved to be published, but not by an academic press because the author failed to engage a single scholarly debate about the common Civil War soldier. Soldier motivation, desertion, the psychological trauma of combat, and Confederate nationalism are issues discussed, but they are not interpreted in a broader historiographical framework. The story line focuses almost exclusively on the day-to-day activities of the Fifty-seventh Georgia Infantry, leaving the reader unsure how the experiences of this regiment reflect broader patterns of thought and action in the Confederate army.
