Synopsis
Considered by many to be the preeminent military historian writing today, John Keegan here applies his best analytic and narrative skills to the war that is perhaps most written about but which still eludes a grand, satisfying explanation. Keegan provides astute assessments of the leaders on both sides; he examines the pitiful conditions of the soldiers and the awesome loss of life; and he considers the great role that geography played in determining the course of the conflict. While the last focus is not especially new--the various Union armies, after all, were named after the rivers with which they were associated--in Keegan's hand, this focus adds great interest and makes eminent sense, as the lay of the land connects leadership and the human experience to the larger canvas of American history.
