Ý"War Stories" is¨ not just a valuable oral and social history, it is a gift. ("New Orleans Times-Picayune") A kaleidoscope of history. ("Publishers Weekly")

"Mullener takes one city--New Orleans--and offers a picture-window view of the war, with stories about hometown boys who went off to fight as well as the fascinating memories of...others who survived the war in their native lands and later made New Orleans home. Experience the war as America did. Experience War Stories."
