A review by scaifea
Andersonville by MacKinlay Kantor

4.0

Kantor weaves his fictional account of the inmates and jailers of the Andersonville prison camp, along with the lives of families living nearby using actual prison diaries and his own impressive writing skills. This is a good read, but a difficult one; the prose is nearly as bleak as the facts it aims to portray, and rightly so. It's a somber subject that demands a bleak tone.
