The American Civil War; The War in the West 1863 - May 1865 (Essential Histories)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Tracing the events that surrounded the Union's capture of Atlanta, followed by Sherman's famous campaign of destruction through the southern interior, which culminated in April 1865 with the surrender of the last major Confederate field army, this resource provides a fascinating and vivid survey of the second half of the American Civil War in the Western Theater.
Enhanced with color maps and vivid illustrations, this volume focuses in large part on the battles and the progression of the war, but attention is also paid to the community surrounding the campaigns. Personal portraits of individuals, both in and outside the battlefield, assess the human experience of the Civil War and an analysis of the outcome and its consequences round out the work.
Including a clear introduction and chronology of events, this is a valuable resource for students as well as general readers with an interest in American history or military history.
