The Civil War: In the Writings of Col. G.F.R. Henderson - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Col. G.F.R. Henderson (1854-1903), one of Britain's most outstanding military historians, is no stranger to those interested in the Civil War. His Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War (also available from Da Capo Press) has been universally recognized as the best biography of the famous Confederate general and a classic in military literature. Yet Henderson's other writings on the Civil War, though equally astute and provocative, have been exceedingly difficult to find. This volume gathers together all of his seminal writings on that bloody, fratricidal conflict: the rare classic, The Campaign of Fredericksburg, complete; his lengthy critique of the Battles and Leaders series; his remarkable tribute, "Stonewall Jackson's Place in History"; and much more. In his skilled hands these essays transcend the confines of tactical studies to address the broader issues of leadership and strategy. Superbly edited by Jay Luvaas, Professor of Military History at the U. S. Army War College, The Civil War is a brilliant companion to Henderson's enduring Stonewall Jackson biography.
