Lens of War grew out of an invitation to leading historians of the Civil War to select and reflect upon a single photograph. Each could choose any image and interpret it in personal and scholarly terms. The result is a remarkable set of essays by twenty-seven scholars whose numerous volumes on the Civil War have explored military, cultural, political, African American, women's, and environmental history. The essays describe a wide array of photographs and present an eclectic approach to the assignment, organized by topic: Leaders, Soldiers, Civilians, Victims, and Places.

The work of pioneer photographer Matthew Brady is of course evident throughout the book, as are some of his proteges who have ventured out on their own. These photos are viewed through various lenses, offering the reader alternate narratives that many of us may not have even fathomed.
This is an excellent collection that will appeal to Civil War buffs, photography and art enthusiasts, as well as students of history and Human Geography.
