History Of The Civil War In America (Volume Ii)

By Louis-Philippe-Albert D'Orléans, Louis Fitzgerald Tasistro, Henry Coppée

Book Overview

War does not end on the battlefield. It ends in memory, for generations still. The stakes could not be higher. History Of The Civil War In America (Volume II) continues the Comte de Paris's commanding military history narrative of the 1861-1865 United States, tracking the union confederate campaigns that tested leadership, logistics, and will. With a brisk, clear-eyed eye for battle tactics and strategy, this volume follows operations and decisions as they unfold, while never losing sight of the political causes and outcomes that shaped nineteenth century America and its aftermath. Written by a European prince-historian close enough to the era to feel its urgency, yet distant enough to judge, the work stands as a major nineteenth-century synthesis, long valued for serious study. Its disciplined method invites comparison with the official records civil war compilations, while its sweep speaks to readers who love narrative history as much as analysis. It rewards the casual reader seeking a coherent account, and it serves american history students as a dependable civil war research reference for essays, seminars, and debate. For rapid cross-checking, some readers also consult a public domain ebook edition alongside this text. Part of a complete civil war volume set, Volume II belongs on the shelf of anyone who values the tradition that leads from early chroniclers to Shelby Foote Civil War. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
