Lethal Glory: Dramatic Defeats of the Civil War

Brother fought against brother, casualties were high, and morale often fell: but because the Rebel and Union forces had roughly similar numbers, they rarely suffered total defeat in battle. These 15 bloody assaults -- such as Fort Sumter, the campaign in New Mexico, and the siege of Plymouth, North Carolina -- were the exception. You'll see bravery in the face of certain death and read battlefield reports that highlight the bitter reality of defeat.Katcher, Philip R.
