SynopsisOsprey's examination of the short yet crucial campaign of the American Civil War (1861-1865). When General Robert E. Lee took command of the Army of Northern Virginia, the Confederacy was in crisis. Lee changed all that in a brilliant, week-long campaign. On 26 June the Confederates struck, fighting two hard-fought battles in two days at Mechanicsville and Gaine's Mill. The ferocity of the Confederate assaults convinced McClellan that he was outnumbered. Unable to keep the Confederates at bay, the Union army was recalled to Washington. Despite losing a quarter of his men, Lee had saved Richmond, and inflicted a humiliating defeat on the Army of the Potomac., When General Robert E.

England in America
I am somewhat biased about this book. As I am a Great Grandson of Thomas Cocke who built Malvern Hills Plantation. The story and the events that took place there are part of the fabric that is America. This is a compelling book, filled with intriguing stories of events that literally shaped our Nation. Thomas Cocke named the Plantation after his homeland. Because of it's uncanny resemblance to the Malvern Hills in England.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

I'm getting old
When I received it I put with my Osprey civil war collection only to find that I already had a copy. Now I'm going to review the results of my Alzheimer's test. Good buy however.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
