Description

Who were the greatest commanders of the American Civil War, and what made them so?

In The Great Commanders of the American Civil War, the best military leaders of both sides are pitted against each other and their strengths and weaknesses examined - Robert E.

Lee versus George Meade at Gettysburg, Ulysses S. Grant versus Albert Sidney Johnston at Shiloh, William Tecumseh Sherman versus John Bell Hood in the March to the Sea, along with eight other pairs.

The book also explores a decisive battle between each pair of adversaries, highlighting the decisions made and why the battle was won.

Each featured battle includes a contextual introduction, a description of the action, and an analysis of the aftermath.

A specially commissioned colour map illustrating the dispositions and movement of forces brings the subject to life and helps the reader grasp the course of each battle.

Featuring full-colour illustrations, paintings and photographs alongside the battle maps, The Great Commanders of the American Civil War is a fascinating comparison of the greatest Confederate and Union military leaders.
