War Diaries can be used to augment historical texts with personal revelations, situations and circumstances. The soldiers timeline or diary fills in the gaps to further explain a particular event from an entirely new or different perspective and with previously unknown facts. Together the History Writer's gathered facts and the soldiers diary provide a more accurate picture of a historical event.

 

Unlike the diary, the soldiers journal may or may not follow a timeline but instead be used to highlight an achievement or failure. A soldiers journal records emotion and is a reflection of his morale and that of his comrades. A study of a journal before or after a military engagement often times yields the answers as to why a battle was won or lost.

 

In summary, the books on this DVD provide the reader with an enhanced understanding of the historical circumstances surrounding a particular event. Seeing the war from the soldiers eyes, both Union and CSA, can be truly illuminating.
