Culminating in a stalwart defensive fight by Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson's Virginia Brigade, this book is the story of the Confederacy's first victory. The lead-up to the battle, the affair at Blackburn's Ford and the fight for Henry Hill are all covered. The author investigates the backgrounds and personalities of the principle commanders on both sides and shows how their decisions influenced the outcome of the battle. He also looks at the opposing armies and shows how the widely varying uniforms of different units caused mistakes of identity which crucially affected the eventual outcome.
