Wilderness Campaign: May 1864,
This review is from: Wilderness Campaign: May 1864 (Kindle Edition)
Well written book that does an adequate job of covering the battles in the VA Wilderness. I found the organization to be somewhat disjointed. The author stopped describing battles to add personnal background of individuals throughout the book, including an exstensive desciption of the telegraph. The biggest issue with this book is the type became totally jumbled for several pages. As well as the font, very hard to read at times. With an extensive edit this would be a 3 star book.
