Remembering the Battle of the Crater: War as Murder by Kevin Levin offers a valuable addition to the growing body of scholarship on the American Civil War and popular memory. Levin shows how, for much of the post-war period, the story of the battle of the Crater was explained in terms of the courage of the white combatants and their honor in fighting for what they believed in. Minimizing and ignoring the role of black troops at the Crater made it possible to evade divisive issues arising from slavery and racism. While acknoledging a debt to David Blight's Race and Reunion, Levin's succint and thought-provoking book makes its own contributions to our understanding of the Civil War's place in the public conciousness.w, This unique book is not another battle history but tells the story of the Crater's history. This is a look at how and what we chose to remember of an incident. This book needs to be read and remembered., "On the whole, Levin has produced a thoroughly researched and carefully argued study... The result is a solid academic book that firmly establishes Levin as an important scholar and public voice on the Civil War, race, and memory." -- Journal of American History, ""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. That horrible day at the Crater in Petersburg, its brutal racial facts and legacies, all tangled in the weeds of Confederate Lost Cause lore, have never been exposed like this. 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 W. Blight, author of American Oracle: The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era" --, "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.

Blight, author of American Oracle: The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era, "Levin has done a superb job of charting a course through the complex and sometimes perplexing details of this story. His research is exhaustive, and his critical eye encompasses such diverse elements as John Elder's famous painting of the battle, the many reunions and reenactments held on the battlefield, the creation of the Petersburg National Battlefield, and the ways in which park personnel have tried to interpret the engagement to succeeding generations since 1932... If Levin's study can inspire further work along these lines, its value will be enhanced beyond that of a mere case study, good as it is in that category alone. -- Journal of the Civil War Era" -- Earl J. Hess, Journal of the Civil War Era, " Remembering the Battle of the Crater is a well-researched and well-written book.
