Gail Jarrow explores the science and oftentimes grisly history of U.S. Civil War medicine, using actual medical cases and first-person accounts by soldiers, doctors, and nurses. Jarrow discusses why she wrote this book, and also relates why she feels this history can help young readers better understand our current struggle with COVID-19.

Called "an alarmingly relevant book that mirrors current events” by Kirkus Reviews in a starred review, The Teachers March! How Selma’s Teachers Changed History demonstrates the power of protest and standing up for a just cause, and is an exciting tribute to the educators who participated in the 1965 Selma Teachers' March.
