This is a masterful account of the last days of the Civil War in North Carolina, analyzing the battles, conflicts, and negotiations between Confederate General Joseph Johnston and Union Major General William Sherman and their armies. The content is thorough, wide-ranging, and detailed. The style is engaging and fluent. The author is a professed admirer of General Johnston and The Army of Tennessee, and gives them a glowing accolade. He is less favorable to Major General Sherman, whom he frequently criticizes, but his overall account is scrupulously fair. For a serious academic study, this one is remarkably entertaining, and I recommend it to everyone with an interest in the conclusion of the Civil War. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Literaturhinweise zu diesem Werk aus externen Quellen. Wikipedia auf Englisch (12)Even after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, the Civil War continued to be fought, and surrenders negotiated, on different fronts. The most notable of these occurred at Bennett Place, near Durham, North Carolina, when Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered the Army of Tennessee to Union General William T. Sherman. In this first full-length examination of the end of the war in North Carolina, Mark Bradley traces the campaign leading up to Bennett Place. Alternating between Union and Confederate points of view and drawing on his readings of primary sources, including numerous eyewitness accounts and the final muster rolls of the Army of Tennessee, Bradley depicts the action as it was experienced by the troops and the civilians in their path. He offers new information about the morale of the Army of Tennessee during its final confrontation with Sherman's much larger Union army. And he advances a fresh interpretation of Sherman's and Johnston's roles in the final negotiations for the surrender. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
