While the Civil War is famous for epic battles involving massive armies engaged in conventional warfare, A Savage Conflict 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.

This study examines the nature and some of the functions of nationalism in Mexican society, presents a theoretical framework for the use of the kind of nationalism that has characterized Mexico, and analyzes the extent to which that framework is relevant in the Mexican case. Turner discusses the hundred years before the revolution, but the central focus of the book is on the effects of the revolution itself.
