Darkest Days of the War The Battles of Iuka And Corinth

During the late summer of 1862, Confederate forces attempted a three-pronged strategic advance into the North. The results at Antietam and in Kentucky are well known; the third offensive, the northern Mississippi campaign, led to the devastating and little-studied defeats at Iuka and Corinth, defeats that would open the way for Grant's attack on Vicksburg. Cozzens details the tactical stories of Iuka and Corinth, analyzing troop movements down to the regimental level and providing compelling portraits of the Generals involved.Cozzens, Peter is the author of 'Darkest Days of the War The Battles of Iuka And Corinth' with ISBN 9780807857830 and ISBN 0807857831.
