This book was written by Bruce Catton, published in 1954, the narrative is 380 pages and is not illustrated. This is the story of the last desperate,, heartbreaking, cruel year of the Civil War. In the winter of 1864, the Army of the Potomac stood at the crossroads. Somehow everyone know that from now on there would be little glory in victory, little pity in defeat. Next would be the battles of the Wilderness, The Bloody Angle, Cold Harbor, the Crater, and on through the horrible months to the truce at Appomattox. In this book Grant, Meade, Sheridan and McClellan come alive in all their failings and triumphs. This hard book is in very good condition, but does not have a dust jacket.
