OverviewUnion military forces suffered momentary defeat followed by sustained success in the Western Theater during the second half of the American Civil War. Following the Union's defeat at Chickamauga, Ulysses S. Grant took command at Chattanooga and orchestrated a striking victory which paved the way for a Union advance against Atlanta, a confederate city second in importance only to Richmond. This book traces the events that surrounded the capture of Atlanta, followed by Sherman's famous campaign of destruction through the southern interior which culminated in April 1865 with the surrender of the last major Confederate field army at Durham Station, North Carolina.

Table of ContentsReviewsSeries Review: The Civil War Essential Histories These outstanding British imports offer clear, understandable coverage. Although primarily focused on military history, the books also discuss the relative strengths of the Union and Confederacy sides and the war's causes and economic and political consequences. Average-quality black-and-white photos and superior full-color campaign and battle maps are pluses, and this edition's new end matter provides American bibliographic references. The authors maintain a detachment that allows a highly objective analysis of leadership and actions. Valuable for reports and readable enough to recommend to Civil War buffs, this set deserves a place in all secondary libraries. --School Library Journal Series Review: Nicely illustrated with period photos, illustrations, and maps, this is a good, solid series that will provide a comprehensive overview of the Civil War for high school students.
