Bringing on the Wrath -- Going for a Soldier: 1861 -- War in Earnest: 1862 -- A Higher Purpose: 1863 -- A Different Kind of War: 1864 -- Finishing the Work: 1864-1865.

Review: "William J. Jackson examines the ironies, paradoxes, and contradictions that characterized New Jersey's unique historical role in the war. His book is the first to examine the role this state played in context of the entire Civil War. It is also the only book to incorporate social and political history with that of military history and issues. Civil War aficionados and historians will welcome Jackson's analysis of the participation of New Jersey African Americans on the home front and in the military - an important, and much-needed, part of the book."--Jacket.
