"Andersonville" by Mackinley Kantor is a really thick book...about
760 pages of the actual story. People might wonder why I would buy
a +700 paged book, but in the words of Hermione in "Harry
Potter"...'I checked it out for a little light reading...":) This
must be what you are thinking because it is based on historical
fact...it's historical fiction. I did find the "Andersonville"
screen play which I'm sure is based on the movie since it is by the
same person (not Mackinley Kantor)...
