A Higher Duty: Desertion among Georgia Troops during the Civil War
Mark A. Weitz
Addresses the issues associated with Confederate desertion. This book examines the emotional and psychological reasons that might induce a soldier to desert. Just as loyalty to his fellow soldiers might influence a man to charge into a hail of lead, loyalty to his wife and family could also lead him to risk a firing squad in order to return home.
