Inhaltsangabe

Alexander posits the idea that the South could have won the Civil War given some tactical and strategic changes and better communication among the generals, rather than differing views about how to fight the war. He discusses how Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson disagreed on strategy, the turning point battle that was never necessary, how the Confederate army never implemented its strategy to negate the Union's advantages in manpower and weaponry, how Abraham Lincoln saw the Union's problems better than the Confederacy's leaders, and how the South failed to learn from the lessons of its 1863 victory at Chancellorsville. Among the battles examined are those at Fredericksburg, Antietam, Gettsyburg, and Appomattox. Alexander is the author several books on military history, including Lost Victories.
