Author: Kyle Roy Ward
From Chapter One, "Crisis at Hand":
"Not only would this generation have to help heal the wounds from a war fought some thirty years earlier, they would also be forced into fighting any future battles with the same mythical patriotism and valor that the Civil War generation had. In a near carnival atmosphere this generation went off to fight their war. Unfortunately for them, by the time they returned to American soil, this excitement had all but vanished. These men quickly found that the war they had been sold was not the one they would end up fighting. . . ."
