MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY - BOOK REVIEW

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory
Clint Goodwin - April 22, 2014

Fascinating read

As a multi-war combat wounded Marine myself, I could definitely identify with the gut feelings (especially in the latter half of the book, as Lucky matured through his combat experiences) that someone who sees serious combat goes through...from starry-eyed patriotic expectations, to shock, and eventually to life-altering abhorrence of war and becoming a permanently changed person.

This story is told from a very interesting and unique perspective. 1) A historical journey through many of the major battles of the Civil War...2) told from the Southern Army's point of view...3) with real combat experiences and feelings interjected by an author who has "seen the elephant" himself, and...4) from a HORSE's perspective! For a wild ride through the Civil War battlefields (pun intended), pick this one up!
