 Mark M 5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and well researched Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022 As a fan of historical fiction, I found this factual book fascinating and illuminating. It tells the stories of children and women who fought in the Civil War, with one of the women fighting as a man - a not-uncommon occurrence then. The author writes very well and provides rich detail based on historical and first-hand accounts. It's a page turner from another time in America's history, and thoroughly enjoyable.
