It's harrowing reading, and, in a way, depressingly familiar: the savagery and ruthlessness of the guerrillas is perhaps understandable, but the ease with which the state's military elite (and its political backers) persuaded itself that its victims were subhuman calls to mind quite a few more recent imperialistic ventures. It's evident that Missouri during Federal occupation was a profoundly corrupt totalitarian state, complete with thought crimes and mass deprivation of basic human rights, all of it hugely profitable to the fortunate few. Although most of the book is a narrative account of the guerrilla war itself, the two chapters on 'Martial Law and 'Control of the Populace' are particularly important. First published in 1958, Brownlee's very readable book is still a standard introductory study of the complete collapse of civil institutions in Missouri during the Civil War.
