The Top 10 Reasons Why the Civil War Was Won in the West Robert C. Jones

Most Civil War historians focus on the battles in Virginia, Pennsylvania (Gettysburg) and Maryland (Antietam). And there is a lot to write about in those conflicts. However, a strong case can be made that the Civil War was won in the ?West? ? not on the battlefields of Virginia, Maryland and Gettysburg. This book looks at 10 (well, 11 actually) battles that occurred in the Western Theater of the Civil War that prove this point, including Mobile Bay, The Tullahoma Campaign, The Carolinas Campaign, Chickamauga, Franklin/Nashville, New Orleans, Chattanooga, Glorieta Pass, Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, Sherman?s March to the Sea and #1, Vicksburg. Over 65 photos, maps and newspaper front pages are included in this book
