This book by an expert on the American Civil War analyzes the very human component of humor within the conflict, a side that is overshadowed by the war's grimmer aspects. The author explores how humor served as an emotional release, how it poked fun at both sides, and how it even entered written and oral folklore. The book shows how humor was used to uplift morale, to criticize incompetence, and even to keep the harsher realities of war at bay. Throughout, the author delves into the role humor played in shaping how both soldiers and civilians perceived the war and its combatants, shedding light on the ways humor helped people cope with the tragedy of the Civil War.
