Abstract

This revised Sesquicentennial edition of Noah Andre Trudeau's The Last Citadel, which includes updated text, redrawn maps, and new material, is a groundbreaking study of the most extensive military operation of the Civil War-the investment of Petersburg, Virginia.The Petersburg campaign began on June 9, 1864, and ended on April 3, 1865, when Federal troops at last entered the city. It was the longest and most costly siege ever to take place on North American soil, yet it has been overshadowed by other actions that occurred at the same time period, most notably Sherman's famous ""March to the S

Abstract

Richmond Redeemed pioneered study of Civil War Petersburg. The original (and long out of print) award-winning 1981 edition conveyed an epic narrative of crucial military operations in early autumn 1864 that had gone unrecognized for more than 100 years. Readers will rejoice that Richard J. Sommers's masterpiece, in a revised Sesquicentennial edition, is once again available.This monumental study focuses on Grant's Fifth Offensive (September 29 - October 2, 1864), primarily the Battles of Chaffin's Bluff (Fort Harrison) and Poplar Spring Church (Peebles' Farm). The Union attack north of the Jam

Abstract

Ulric Dahlgren was a brilliant, ambitious young man who became the youngest full colonel in the United States Army at the age of twenty-one, yet died before his twenty-second birthday. This is the first biography of Dahlgren, and thankfully it was penned by cavalry expert and award-winning author Eric J. Wittenberg.Wittenberg's account chronicles Dahlgren's full life story, with a deep look at his military career and extensive connections within the nation's capital, all of which led to the climax of his life: the notorious Dahlgren Raid.Like a Meteor Burning Brightly: The Short but Controvers

Abstract

The Confederate Alamo is the first book-length study ever written about the chaotic and bloody Battle of Fort Gregg. By April 2, 1865, General Ulysses S. Grant's men had tightened their noose around the vital town of Petersburg, Virginia. Trapped on three sides with a river at their back, the soldiers from General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had never faced such dire circumstances.To give Lee time to craft an escape, a small motley group of threadbare Southerners made a suicidal last stand at a place called Fort Gregg. Famous Civil War historian Douglas Southall Freeman described

Abstract

Peter byggede sin by på trods af naturen, sit folk og sin kultur. Svævende i den blå luft, som legenden hævder. Egentlig skulle det ikke kunne lade sig gøre, men lykkedes altså alligevel. Skt. Petersborg står der på bredderne af Neva som en drøm, der er blevet virkelighed, en luftspejling, der er kommet ned på jorden. En virkelig by med virkelige mennesker, hvoraf mange måske ikke skænker det en tanke, at de bor i et kulturelt eksperiment, som nu på fjerde århundrede fortsat er i gang. Det er et eksperiment, som foreløbig hverken er lykkedes eller mislykkedes. Hele Rusland er ikke blevet som S
