The American Civil War (3)

The war in the East 1863–1865

The American Civil War (3) cover

Description

Great battles and famous commanders dominated the military history of the Civil War in the Eastern Theater during the period 1863-1865.

This book, now in compact e-guide format, includes revealing details of the clash at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the costliest battle ever waged in the Western Hemisphere. Contrary to common belief, it puts forward the theory that it was not a great turning point in the war. Robert K Krick also examines the events that led to Robert E Lee accepting generous terms of surrender from Ulysses S Grant, bringing the war in Virginia to a close.
