Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Cooling has produced what is sure to become the definitive scholarly account of the campaign. Drawing on a vast array of sources, including seldom-used veterans accounts, Cooling presents a comprehensive campaign study from origins to aftermath. Not only does Cooling masterfully describe the specific movements of the opposing forces, but he also never loses sight of the wider context in which the campaign was fought. In fact, Cooling s greatest contribution may be his clear demonstration that Grant was fooled by Early s operations and took an uncommonly long time to react to a very serious threat. American Historical Review Cooling s superb account of one of the most dramatic ventures of the Civil War, one the peaked with a Confederate army at the gate of the nation s capital even as powerful Union forces threatened a clamp on the capital of Rebeldom . . . reflects most intensive research and provides a strictly objective account of the doings of both sides in the course of Early s thrust at Washington, from his entry into Maryland until his withdrawal back into Virginia.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2008This book was a pretty easy read. It introduces and follows the first major campaign in the West from the point of view of the generals commanding. It did a good job documenting the early build up of the different armies as they built up their troops and defenses. In the case of the Union, the early development of the navy in the western rivers is described. There were lots of pictures and period lithographs. There were few maps but they were good and easy to read not dark fuzzy reproduction of Maps from the Official Records. The strength of this book was its examination of the commanders and their blunders. For the Confederates each commander was focused on his position and saw it as the key to the west. The author does a good job of telling you why the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers were vital to the North and South. The North could use these rivers to strike deep into the center of the rebellion. Johnston never visited Forts Henry and Donelson and didn't appreciate their importance until they were threatened. Grant had developed a good relationship the naval commander Foote that enabled them to get permission to attack For Henry. The description of the Naval action is excellent and allows you to understand why Foote thought the Key was to close to close range with his armored gunboats and why this increased the damage from Confederate guns. Find out why after defeating the gunboats and winning a battle with Grants army the confederates lost heart and surrendered the next day. I would recommend this book to any student of the early western campaigns, as it will give you fresh insight.…
