Invisible Wounds

Conflicting Worlds: New Dimensions of the American Civil War Series. Hardcover. Published in 2021 by Louisiana State University Press. Written by Dillon J. Carroll.

Dillon J. Carroll’s Invisible Wounds examines the effects of military service, particularly combat, on the psyches and emotional well-being of Civil War soldiers―Black and white, North and South. Soldiers faced harsh military discipline, arduous marches, poor rations, debilitating diseases, and the terror of battle, all of which took a severe psychological toll.
