The Great Commanders of the American Civil War. Dougherty K.

The Great Commanders of the American Civil War selects 11 major battles from First Manassas in July 1861 to Kennesaw Mountain in June 1864, and, in analysing the course of each battle, evaluates the tactics of the commanders involved. With color maps showing the movement of forces, full order-of-battle tables, and eyewitness accounts, this is an expert examination of the skills of leaders such as Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, and George G. Meade in the war that tore the Union apart.
