Civil War Book Group: For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War by James McPherson
Welcome to the Civil War Book Group!
After years of conflict over the institution of slavery, the Civil War would be the turning point that set the course of the United States into the 20th century and beyond. Join us on the first Thursday of each month as we explore the meaning of the Civil War and how the past has shaped who we are today through a diverse selection of narratives, novels, and histories. In partnership with the Central Rappahannock Regional Library.

For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War by James McPherson (Oxford University Press, 1997)

Why did soldiers fight in the American Civil War? What motivated them to risk their lives? Historian James McPherson's For Cause and Comrades evaluates the letters and lives of soldiers, from the United States and the Confederacy, to find answers to these pressing questions.
