520 $a"...This Civil War diary will add considerably to our understanding of the War, especially our inquiry into life for prisoners of war. During the course of the War, hundreds of thousands of prisoners were taken by both sides. These prisoners had nothing but time, and fortunately for us one of them, an officer from Little Rock by the name of John O'Brien, used that time to record his tenure as a prisoner in several Union prisons. As we read O'Brien's words we are transported back to the confusion and din of the battlefield, to deal with severe wounds that were often threatened with gangrene, we experience the wearying "hurry up and wait" of prisoner routine, and most profoundly, we read of the gradual disintegration of Confederate hope and morale."-- Back cover.
