I don't know that I've read another book like this. It all took place in one or two days, basically one battle, and was primarily the internal struggle of Henry Fleming, the main character. He first runs, then justifies it, then is ashamed, then rejoins his regiment and finds his courage. The movings of the battle were not something I could read a lot of at a time, so I read just a few chapters in between other books.
