Roger Pickenpaugh is the author of many books on Civil War history, including Camp Chase and the Evolution of Union Prison Policy and Captives in Gray: The Civil War Prisons of the Union.
"Captives in Blue will appeal to a wide audience for good reason.
It is the most compressive treatment of prisoners of war to date.
Generalists and an educated public audience will find it readable
and not laden with jargon. For Civil War historians and graduate
students, this book provides a rich documentary trail. Captives in
Blue brings coherence to the complicated movements and experience
of prisoners of war."
--Civil War Book Review
"The real highlight of this volume is the author's extensive use of
prisoner diaries, memoirs, and other manuscript sources to document
what they felt and thought about the conditions and circumstances
regarding their stay as guests of their enemy, in virtually all of
the camps operated in the Confederacy."
--Journal of America's Military Past "Captives in Blue is an
excellent book that more thoroughly details life in Confederate-run
prisons than anything currently available. I think it will stand as
the starting place for all future studies of Southern prisoner of
war facilities for a long time."
--James M. Gillispie, author of Andersonvilles of the North: The
Myths and Realities of Northern Treatment of Civil War Confederate
Prisoners and Cape Fear Confederates: The 18th North Carolina
Regiment in the Civil War
