The first is a Union spy's two-week-long murder spree targeting civilians, and the second is a pro-Confederate guerrillas' mutilation of almost 150 U.S. troops. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe men leading the atrocities (Jacob Terman, alias Harry Truman, and \"Bloody\" Bill Anderson) weren't so different. Both the Union spy and the infamous Confederate guerrilla claimed to be avenging the deaths of their families, operated under orders from military officials, and were hard drinkers. Their acts outline the terror inflicted on both sides of the struggle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book's use of sequential art displays these grisly realities to mute the war's glorification and to help prompt a modern, meaningful reconciliation with the war. The moral ambiguities contained within this story call into question our understanding of the laws of war and the ways in which wars end.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eANDREW FIALKA is associate professor of history at Middle Tennessee State University.
