While the Civil War is famous for epic battles involving massive armies engaged in conventional warfare, <em>A Savage Conflict</em> is the first work to treat guerrilla warfare as critical to understanding the course and outcome of the Civil War. Daniel Sutherland argues that irregular warfare took a large toll on the Confederate war effort by weakening support for state and national governments and diminishing the trust citizens had in their officials to protect them.
