Solid military history, the primary aim of which is to detail the many times that Stonewall Jackson, who had a gift for strategic thinking on the same level as Napoleon, proposed what would likely have been decisive followups to Confederate victories, only to be overruled by Robert E. Lee and/or Jefferson Davis. Indeed, Lee comes off as little better than the incompetent Union generals he faced: McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, etc. The value of this book, however, lies entirely elsewhere -- since it contains one of the finest howlers I've encountered in many a year: "To Stuart, this seemed an opportune time to thrust his enlarged force at Hooker's rear." Naughty, Jeb Stuart, very naughty. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
While studies of the American Civil War generally credit Robert E Lee with military expertise, this account argues that Stonewall Jackson was superior strategist who could have won the war for the South: Had Lee accepted Jackson's plan for an invasion of the North, the South might have surprised and dismayed the Union forces into defeat. Using primary sources, the author reconstructs the battles that demonstrate Jackson's brilliance as a commander. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
