From the opening salvos at Fort Sumter to the final surrender at the Appomattox Courthouse, Walter Geer's classic work provides a penetrating study of the military course of the Civil War from the vantage points of both sides in the conflict. With careful attention to topography, fortifications, and disposition of forces and the character of the fighting men and their commanders, he identifies the key features of each battle that were to determine victory or defeat. Of particular interest are his unsparing judgments of the successes and failures of generalship in both camps.
