I wonder if they are basing it on the 1955 MacKinlay Kantor novel
_Andersonville_? I thought it was a great book. It remarkably showed
the horrors of the camp while not casting heroes and villains. I think it
might make a much more realistic look at the war in terms of
what it can do to humanity than the romantic _Gettysburg_.
