"[I]t wasn't because our fathers knew what they were fighting for that they were heroes. They didn't know what they were fighting for, exactly, and they fought on anyway. That's what made them heroes." ---New York Commander of the Sons of Union Veterans, as quoted by James M. McPherson in his 1994 book, What They Fought For, 1861-1865

One in three was a foreign immigrant!

A significant number couldn't even speak English well.... But they had a large time raping, pillaging and looting.

Every criminal and pyromaniac's fantasy... to be turned loose to steal and burn!

The critics are blown away!

Read what they had to say below...

What the critics are saying...

"This book is simply a blast! A thrill-a-minute vicarious crime-spree." --The Atlanta Chamber Journal

"No fair! My tour in the Army wasn't nearly so fun." --The Stars & Jailbird Stripes

"McPherson breaks out of the usual mold of fanciful fiction historian and gives us some real fun." --William T. Sherman, IV

"...the 'it's all for the best' tone of Clueless Vandals soon begins to cloy." --Bill Wallace, The Charleston Chronicle

"We rate this book an energy saver. We don't normally recommend book burning, but Prattle, Lies & Freedom makes excellent kindling." --The Dahlonega Gazette
