  Perhaps no topic is more heated, and the sources more tendentious, than that of Civil War prisons and the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs). This book investigates variations between camps and overall prison policy and determines what actually happened in the admittedly over-crowded, under-supplied, and poorly administered camps.
