The book explores the harrowing experience of Union prisoners at Anderson Station, Georgia, between 1864 and 1865, where thousands perished due to disease and shortages. It challenges the prevailing narrative that blames Confederate officials, suggesting instead that the crisis was exacerbated by the Union's suspension of prisoner exchanges. William Marvel presents a nuanced view, highlighting the dire conditions and circumstances that contributed to the tragic loss of life, emphasizing the complexities of wartime captivity.
