in Civil War Historians

Petersburg The Austin Civil War Round Table of Austin, Texas, has awarded its 2007 Laney Prize to A Wilson Greene for Civil War Petersburg: Confederate City in the Crucible of War (University of Virginia Press, 2006). The Laney Prize is given for "distinguished scholarship and writing on the military or political history of the American Civil War," according to the group.

I am writing a review of the book for the journal Civil War History and will have a great deal to say about it once I’ve completed it.

"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."

David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion
