Civil War. This significant new study explores Southern strategy in the overall context of the Civil War in the East. The Shenandoah Valley operations of 1862, the Seven Days, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, and Gettysburg no longer appear as separate campaigns but emerge as integral components of one ongoing "Southern Strategic Offensive" to win the war

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, fresh account of Confederate strategy,
By A Customer
This review is from: North with Lee and Jackson (Hardcover)
A wonderful history. The author quotes extensively (with references cited) from letters, telegrams and orders to and from Lee, Jackson, and the other important Civil War leaders. These are woven into a narrative that includes the political and economic forces on both sides. The result is an extremely well documented, extremely informative, yet very readable account of the Confederate strategy and troop movements in Virginia, Maryland and Pennslyvania from the start of the War to the Gettysburg battle. If you want an in-depth understanding of the Confederate strategy, what they wanted to do in Pennsylvania, and how there came to be a battle at Gettysburg, this is the book to read.
