Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The Battle of Malvern Hill on July 1, 1862, marked the climax of the Seven Days' Battles around Richmond, Virginia. For the first time since the Civil War began, the full might of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan's Union Army of the Potomac and Gen. Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia met. The world watched and wondered as this high-stakes combat played out on the doorstep of the Confederate capital. McClellan's army emerged victorious with its superior positions and overwhelming artillery firepower. Yet, McClellan retreated from victory to establish a safe base on the James River. Lee's army secured a default victory simply by holding the battlefield and saving Richmond from capture. Francis Augustin O'Reilly's long-awaited Retreat from Victory: The Battle of Malvern Hill and the End of the Seven Days, July 1, 1862 is the first book-length treatment of this critical and pivotal battle. O'Reilly examines the singular struggle at Malvern Hill in depth and from a wide variety of perspectives, including its implications for the war, the armies, the opposing governments, the people, and slavery. He pieces together the tactical movements of troops on the battlefield and the intentions of leaders on the front lines and in the halls of government in Washington, D.C., and Richmond. Above all, he gives voice to the soldiers, sharing their experiences in combat and on campaign. Two decades in the making, Retreat from Victory draws on hundreds of primary sources-many previously unused-including official records, diaries, newspapers, and regimental histories. O'Reilly's sound and reasoned conclusions are grounded in his deep archival research and keen understanding of the complex terrain. This climactic Civil War battle elevated General Lee's career and marked the beginning of the end of General McClellan's. It was a watershed moment when the Civil War transformed from a rebellion into a revolution. The war grew exponentially larger and more brutal-and ultimately doomed slavery in America. O'Reilly's Retreat from Victory provides a definitive account of the Battle of Malvern Hill, setting a standard that will endure for the foreseeable future. AUTHOR: Francis Augustin O'Reilly is an author and historian who can often be found on the Civil War battlefields of Virginia and, occasionally, on the battlefields of Europe. O'Reilly wrote the award-winning The Fredericksburg Campaign: Winter War on the Rappahannock (2003), which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Military history is his passion, and he has had a lifelong fascination with how soldiers conduct themselves under extreme duress. O'Reilly has been a professional battlefield guide for forty years. He has led tours and staff rides from Manassas to Appomattox and has lectured around the world on topics of war and leadership.
