It has long been acknowledged that General Robert E. Lee's surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia ended the civil war at the Battle of Appomattox in April 1865. However, the often overlooked last siege of the war was the Mobile campaign, crucial to securing a complete victory and the final surrender of the last Confederate force east of the Mississippi River. The Last Siege explores the events surrounding this siege and capture of Mobile, Alabama. The Union victory at the battle of Mobile Bay in 1864 ended blockade running from the port of Mobile. Uncaptured, the city remained a priority for the Confederates to defend and the Federals to attack. This book gives a new perspective on the strategic importance of Mobile as a logistical center which had access to vital rail lines and two major river systems, essential in moving forces and supplies. Included are the most detailed accounts ever written on Union and Confederate camp life in the weeks prior to the invasion, cavalry operations of both sides during the expedition, the Federal feint movement at Cedar Point, the crippling effect of torpedoes on U.S. naval operations in Mobile Bay, the tread-way escape from Spanish Fort, and the evacuation of Mobile. The entrance of Federals into the city and the reaction of the citizenry are featured. In doing so evidence is presented that contradicts the popular notion that Mobile wholeheartedly welcomed the Federals and was a predominately pro-Union town. Using a variety of primary sources, this book highlights the bravery of the men who were still trying to win by utilizing evolved military tactics against the strong defensive fortifications at Mobile. Many acts of heroism occurred in this, the Confederacy's last campaign which ended in the final surrender at Citronelle, Alabama in May.

La 4e de couverture indique: "Livre culte dans le monde entier, Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau moqueur raconte l'histoire d'Atticus Finch, jeune avocat, qui élève seul ses deux enfants Jem et Scout. Lorsqu'il est commis d'office pour la défense d'un homme noir accusé d'avoir violé une femme blanche, la vie de la petite famille bascule. Nous sommes dans les années 1930, dans une petite ville de l'Alabama et certaines vérités peuvent être dangereuses à démontrer... Grâce au talent de Fred Fordham (notamment découvert en France grâce à Nightfall, paru chez Delcourt), ce roman graphique donne une nouvelle vie au chef d'oeuvre d'Harper Lee. L'illustrateur a exploré les lieux qui ont compté pour la mythique auteure américaine en se plongeant dans sa vie afin de s'approcher au plus près de son imaginaire. Fred Fordham offre un éclairage inédit du texte avec ce magnifique ouvrage qui renforce encore la modernité de l'oeuvre de Lee. Couronné par le prix Pulitzer en 1961, Ne tirez pas sur l'oiseau moqueur est l'un des plus grands classiques de la littérature du xxème siècle.
