While tending to look on the positive side of their subject, as one might expect from two former staffers of the Center for Military History, this is a really excellent overview of the regular units and bureaucratic organization of the U.S. Army during the Civil War. My biggest gripe with this book is that this work would have a much wider audience if it were not for the truly ridiculous cover price and the the apparent failure to release an affordable paperback edition; the effective promulgation of knowledge this is not. I read it as an e-book. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

On the eve of the Civil War, the Regular Army of the United States was small, dispersed, untrained for large-scale operations, and woefully unprepared to suppress the rebellion of the secessionist states. Although the Regular Army expanded significantly during the war, reaching nearly sixty-seven thousand men, it was necessary to form an enormous army of state volunteers that overshadowed the Regulars and bore most of the combat burden. Nevertheless, the Regular Army played several critically important roles, notably providing leaders and exemplars for the Volunteers and managing the administration and logistics of the entire Union Army. In this first comprehensive study of the Regular Army in the Civil War, Clayton R. Newell and Charles R. Shrader focus primarily on the organizational history of the Regular Army and how it changed as an institution during the war, to emerge afterward as a reorganized and permanently expanded force. The eminent, award-winning military historian Edward M. Coffman provides a foreword. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
