Description
An anthology of five American Civil War books. The collection includes: Volume 1: "...To Knock Jos. Johnston" Sherman, Atlanta, and the Sinews of War Before Sherman began his famous "March to the Sea," he had to first take Atlanta and defeat the wounded, but still formidable, Confederate Army of Tennessee. Volume 1 tells you how he did it. Volume 2: Grant Cuts Loose: Logistics and the Drive on Vicksburg Ulysses S. Grant had tried a half-dozen times and failed to get at the Confederate citadel of Vicksburg. Discover how he finally managed to capture the city and an entire Confederate army in Volume 2. Volume 3: Vicksburg Redeemed: An Assessment of Confederate Combined Operations During the Baton Rouge Campaign of 1862 General Earl Van Dorn had a plan. General John Breckinridge's Confederate Task Force, with the aid of the C.S.S. Arkansas ironclad ram, would re-take the Federally occupied Louisiana capital of Baton Rouge. Find out what happened in Volume 3. Volume 4: Dooming the Confederacy: The Decisive Battle of Champion Hill So, you think Gettysburg was the decisive battle of the Civil War? Read Volume 4 and you might just change your mind. Volume 5: Star-Crossed: A Quantitative Reassessment of the Relative Combat Performance of the Army of Tennessee Compared to the Army of Northern Virginia Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia outclassed its sister army in the West, the Army of Tennessee, in every category, right? Read Volume 5 before you answer that question. The Kindle version Includes extensive links to authoritative and informative websites dedicated to specific battles, personalities, locations, and events discussed in the narratives.
