Red-Tape and Pigeon-Hole Generals.

This book is unique. It is the only book, not a diary, not a collection of letters, written by a soldier while on active duty! Amazing. How? Col. Armstrong used his down-time convalescing from "camp fever" to write it. Amazing. It was published, pseudonymously in 1864, while the war was on going. Amazing. And it went "unrecognized" by Civil War historians for 133 years. Amazing.
