Summary: Thousands of boys fought in the Civil War, kids from 12 to 16, fighting with, and against, grown men. Some went to war over slavery; some went to protect their families. Many didn't even know the reasons; they just wanted an adventure, a reason to escape boredom. This is the story of those boys. Based on diary entries and letters, The Boys' War tells all about their war: why they joined, what they wore, how they lived, what they ate, if they survived, if they didn't.
