Seller's Description:
Very good. [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. A war song is a musical composition that relates to war, or a society's attitudes towards war. They may be pro-war, anti-war, or simply a description of everyday life during war times. It is possible to classify these songs by historical, conflict: "First World War songs", "Second World War songs", "Vietnam War songs", and so on. There is also a miscellaneous category of recruiting songs, anti-pacifist songs, complaints about mess rations, excessive drilling and so on. Many national anthems are either a call to arms, or a celebration of military victories and past glories. There were a handful of anti-war songs before 1939, but this category has grown enormously since the start of the Vietnam War. On the other hand, new songs that are pro-war are becoming less common. Some national anthems have been adapted to be purely instrumental, or less bellicose in sentiment.
