Reviews
"A remarkable scholarly and literary achievement, a genuinely pathbreaking book."Lincoln Prize Citation"", William Marvel's Andersonville: The Last Depot appears to be the first history of the prison to take a genuinely objective approach to the question of how and to what ends Confederate authorities established and operated the prison. . . . He presents it in a fluid narrative. The pity is that . . . passions still run so high that in some quarters he will have no chance of a fair hearing. -- Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post, The best account of the tragedy of Andersonville that we have or are likely to have. Not afraid to address controversial issues, [Marvel] analyzes the reasons for the suffering and dying impartially and makes clear that Henry Wirz was a victim of passions that played a larger role than evidence in the postwar trial that convicted him of war crimes. This book is a model for studies of other Civil War prisons, which are much needed. -- James M. McPherson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Battle Cry of Freedom: The Era of the Civil War, Succeeds in addressing significant questions in Civil War historiography and interpretation through vivid presentation of the lives and experiences of ordinary soldiers -- prisoners and their captors. . . . A remarkable scholarly and literary achievement, a genuinely pathbreaking book that provides definitive answers to more than a century's worth of questions and controversy. -- Lincoln Prize Citation, A remarkable scholarly and literary achievement, a genuinely pathbreaking book. Lincoln Prize Citation , This well-written and readable monograph . . . . is a valuable contribution to the historiography of Civil War prisons.Historian, An authoritative history of the camp. . . . A masterful job of historical detective work.History: Reviews of New Books, An authoritative history of the camp. . . . A masterful job of historical detective work. History: Reviews of New Books, An authoritative history of the camp. . . . A masterful job of historical detective work. -- History: Reviews of New Books, This is a long-overdue, first-rate study. The author's approach is scholarly and even-handed. -- James Robertson, Richmond Times-Dispatch, This well-written and readable monograph is more than a recitation of the facts. It is an analysis of the evolution and events of Andersonville, the most notorious prison of the war. Marvel's book is a valuable contribution to the historiography of Civil War prisons. -- Historian, Fine style: footnoted enough for the scholar, thoroughly readable for everyone else, and studded with lots of contemporary photos. -- Kliatt

Synopsis
Between February 1864 and April 1865, 41,000 Union prisoners of war were taken to the stockade at Anderson Station, Georgia, where nearly 13,000 of them died. The author contends that virulent disease and severe shortages of vegetables, medical supplies, and other necessities combined to create a crisis beyond the captors' control., Between February 1864 and April 1865, 41,000 Union prisoners of war were taken to the stockade at Anderson Station, Georgia, where nearly 13,000 - one-third of them - died. Most contemporary accounts placed the blame for the tragedy squarely on the shoulders of the Confederates who administered the prison or on a conspiracy of higher-ranking officials. In this carefully researched and compelling revisionist account, William Marvel provides a comprehensive history of Andersonville Prison and conditions within it. Based on reliable primary sources - including diaries, Union and Confederate government documents, and letters - rather than exaggerated postwar recollections and such well-known but spurious "diaries" as that of John Ransom, Marvel's analysis exonerates camp commandant Henry Wirz and others from charges that they deliberately exterminated prisoners, a crime for which Wirz was executed after the war. According to Marvel, virulent disease and severe shortages of vegetables, medical supplies, and other necessities combined to create a crisis beyond Wirz's control. He also argues that the tragedy was aggravated by the Union decision to suspend prisoner exchanges, which meant that many men who might have returned home were instead left to sicken and die in captivity., Between February 1864 and April 1865, 41,000 Union prisoners of war were taken to the stockade at Anderson Station, Georgia, where nearly 13,000 of them died.
