Edison, NJ: Castle Books, 2000. Reprint Edition, presumed first printing. Hardcover. [4], 412, [8] pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Music. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Wartime literature has always served as a source of hope and inspiration to all those involved - from the soldiers at the front lines to the families and friends at home. It also tells of the incredible spirit and bravery that carried its soldiers through battle. Lovingly compiled by a former private in General Lee's Army, the treasure trove of war songs and poetry - all of which were composed by soldiers of the Southern Confederacy - shows the passion and conviction of those who loved during and fought in the American Civil War. Despite the trials and tribulations of the battlefield, the men of the Confederacy maintained their fighting spirits, as evidence in these ballads, songs, and poems - martial, melancholic, longing, and nostalgic.

Ira Wolfert (November 1, 1908 – November 24, 1997) was an American Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent and writer. In 1930, he graduated from the Columbia University School of Journalism with a bachelor's degree. In 1941, he was aboard the Surcouf when it helped to liberate Saint Pierre and Miquelon. His series of articles about the November 1942 Naval Battle of Guadalcanal won him the Pulitzer Prize for Telegraphic Reporting. In 1944, Wolfert co-wrote One man Air Force with Captain Don Gentile, a leading fighter ace. The book is an autobiography of Gentile and details his exploits as a fighter pilot flying P-51 Mustangs with the Eighth Air Force. He wrote non-fiction, including the 1943 bestselling eyewitness account Battle for the Solomons and the 1945 American Guerrilla in the Philippines, which recounts the exploits of Navy officer Iliff David Richardson and was made into a 1950 film, starring Tyrone Power.

Yigael Yadin (born Yigael Sukenik 20 March 1917 – 28 June 1984) was an Israeli archeologist, politician, and the second Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces. He joined the Haganah at age 15, and in 1946 he left the Haganah following an argument with its commander Yitzhak Sadeh. He was a university student when, in 1948, before the State of Israel declared its independence, he was called back to active service. He was Head of Operations during Israel's War of Independence, and was responsible for many of the key decisions made during the course of that war. Yadin was appointed Chief of Staff of the IDF on 9 November 1949, following the resignation of Yaakov Dori, and served in that capacity for three years. He resigned on 7 December 1952, over disagreements with then prime minister and defense minister David Ben-Gurion. By age thirty-five, he had completed his military career. Upon leaving the military, he devoted himself to research and began his life's work in archeology. In 1956 he received the Israel Prize in Jewish studies, for his doctoral thesis on the translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls. As an archeologist, he excavated some of the most important sites in the region, including the Qumran Caves, Masada, Hazor, and Tel Megiddo. He considered the Solomonic Gate at Tel Gezer to be the highpoint of his career. More
