Reviews
The deepest, most comprehensive, and most definitive work on this Civil War campaign, by the unchallenged authority."" - James I. Robertson Jr., author of Stonewall Jackson
""This thorough, elegant study eclipses all other accounts of the Second Battle of Manassas. It not only recounts what happened in this battle and why, but also places it in the larger context of a war that was changing radically in character during that fateful summer of 1862. Anyone who wishes to understand the first Confederate decision to invade the north must read this book."" - James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom
