Böcker av Gordon C. Rhea

The second volume in Gordon Rhea's five-book series on the Civil War's 1864 Overland Campaign abounds with Rhea's signature detail, innovative analysis, and riveting prose. Here Rhea examines the manoeuvres and battles from May 7, 1864, when Grant left the Wilderness, to May 12, when his attempt to break Lee's line reached a chilling climax.

Fought in a tangled forest fringing the south bank of the Rapidan River, the Battle of the Wilderness marked the initial engagement in the climactic months of the Civil War in Virginia, and the first encounter between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. In an exciting narrative, Gordon C. Rhea provides the consummate recounting of the conflict.
