Drawing extensively from the letters, diaries and published collections of hundreds of religious soldiers, Rolfs effectively resurrects both these soldiers' religious ideals and their most profound spiritual doubts and conflicts. No Peace for the Wicked also explores the importance of "just war" theory in the formulation of Union military strategy and tactics, and examines why the most religious generation in U.S. history fought America's bloodiest war. --from publisher description 651 0 $a United States $x Religious aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Religious aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Soldiers $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Protestants $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0827/2008039665.html 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718085249.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824093218.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150520012115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=504124A440C011DF814D4D3DA8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
