Andersonville (1956) By Mackinlay Kantor
 
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 1956. Regarded in America as the greatest of their Civil War novels, outstripping even Gone With the Wind, Andersonville is the story of a notorious Confederate stockade where 50,000 Yankee prisoners of war were herded in horrible conditions for fourteen terrible months.
 
This story of a most tragic episode in American history is more that just a record of a nineteenth-century hell on earth. It is the story also of a cross-section of humanity, facing up, or giving way, to appalling conditions such as no man should have to experience. The result is that man is seen at his very best and at hides very worst. The author has been over twenty-five years in the writing of this monumental book, which is probably as powerful an indictment of war and of man's inhumanity to man as has appeared in print.
