The Last Full Measure

"Finally and tragically, brothers became enemies in America's bloodiest conflict, a progression vividly traced in The Class of 1846. . . . [Waugh] has done his homework well, and has deftly translated his findings into a . . . compelling narrative that follows the fate of that class from plebe days to Appomattox and beyond. . . . The Class of 1846 belongs on the shelf of not only Civil War buffs but also students of all military history."
--The New York Times Book Review

Through letters, diaries, and firsthand accounts, the author knits together a compelling group biography of the larger-than-life war heroes who made up West Point's class of 1846, including Stonewall Jackson and George B. McClellan. Reprint.
