Summary "Diary from November 12, 1862, to October 18, 1863" by Adam Gurowski is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a personal diary reflecting on the Civil War experiences and the political landscape of the United States during that tumultuous period. In it, Gurowski shares his observations and critiques regarding the military commanders, political figures, and the state of the nation while emphasizing the struggles faced by the soldiers. The opening of the diary sets a somber tone as Gurowski recounts his interactions with soldiers suffering from delays in their pay and the resulting hardships they endure. Through his keen observations, he critiques the incompetence of military leaders like Burnside and Halleck, expressing concerns about their strategy and decisions during major battles, such as Fredericksburg. Gurowski also addresses diplomatic matters, including Queen Napoleon's interference and the general apathy toward the soldiers' sacrifices, highlighting the moral and political crises faced by the country. His passionate commentary reveals both a deep sense of patriotism and disillusionment, offering readers a vivid portrayal of a pivotal period in American history.
