Summary:  Henry Flemming has enlisted as a soldier for the Union army in the Civil War, but as he gets closer and closer to his first battle, his confidence in his ability to withstand the fighting without fleeing wavers. This novel is a fascinating look at war that takes place within the mind of a soldier.
