			        		...Useful on multiple levels, the historical value of the Benton letters contained in&#xA0;Death, Disease, and Life at War&#xA0;significantly exceeds that of the average set of Civil War correspondence edited for publication. This expanded repackaged edition is well worth the attention of new and seasoned readers alike. (cwba.blogspot.com/2018/04/review-of-loperfido-ed-death-disease.html)...Loperfido has offered a valuable contribution to the ever-growing collection of edited volumes.&#xA0;Death, Disease, and Life at War&#xA0;includes helpful explanatory appendices by Meg Groeling and Dennis Rashbach that will certainly assist those unfamiliar with topics ranging from the U.S. Sanitary Commission to 19th-century amputation techniques. Read this book.(theroguehistorian.com/keith-harris-history/2018/7/16/death-disease-and-life-at-war-by-christopher-loperfido) ...Christopher Loperfido has done the study of Civil War medicine a valuable service by bringing Benton&apos;s stories, reactions, and firsthand accounts to light.

			        		For anyone interested in my book, please know that it more than just a set of letters written by a surgeon. &#xA0;Not only will you read a first hand account of the war from someone who was on the ground and witnessed it firsthand, but you will get a better idea of the United States Sanitary Commission, Jonathan Letterman and his important work improving battlefield triage, how the Ambulance Corps was created and used, how lint was used by surgeons, and how amputations were performed. &#xA0;I urge anyone with an interest in the Civil War to please give this a read. &#xA0;The study of Civil War medicine is an under studied topic and it is my hope that my book will help further the study of this important topic. With regards, Christopher Loperfido
