The Embattled Past

Book •
Edward M. Kaufman's The Embattled Past collects military-historical essays and reminiscences, reflecting on Civil War-era individuals and events that the author documented.

Schmidt refers to the book because it contains photographs of Civil War veterans his grandfather encountered.

The volume exemplifies Kaufman's long career as a historian focused on American military history and personal recollections.

It serves as both a scholarly and personal testament to mid-20th-century historical memory.

The guest noted it was published in 2014 and is partially viewable via Google Books.
