Description

Focusing on the US Civil War, Cheryl Wells looks at how it played havoc with people's perception and use of time, including interrupted periods of sleep, indefinite prison sentences and extended hours of work. Wells calls this 'battle time' and she looks at its effects on civilians, as well as those involved in the fighting itself.
