Powell, DavidTullahoma - The Forgotten Campaign that Changed the Course of the Civil War, June 23 - July 4, 1863 July 1863 was a momentous month in the Civil War. News of Gettysburg and Vicksburg electrified the North and devastated the South. Sandwiched geographically between those victories and lost in the heady tumult of events was news that William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland had driven Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee entirely out of Middle Tennessee. The brilliant campaign nearly cleared the state of Rebels and changed the calculus of the Civil War in the Western Theater. The campaign included deceit, hard marching, fighting, and incredible luck -- both good and bad. Rosecrans executed a pair of feints against Guy's Gap and Liberty Gap to deceive the Rebels into thinking the main blow would fall somewhere other than where it was designed to strike. An ineffective Confederate response exposed one of Bragg's flanks -- and his entire army -- to complete disaster. Torrential rains and consequential decisions in the field wreaked havoc on the best-laid plans. Still Bragg hesitated, teetering on the brink of losing the second most important field army in the Confederacy. The hour was late and time was short, and his limited withdrawal left the armies poised for a climactic engagement that may have decided the fate of Middle Tennessee, and perhaps the war. Finally fully alert to the mortal threat facing him, Bragg pulled back from the iron jaws of defeat about to engulf him and retreated all the way to Chattanooga, the gateway to the rest of the Southern Confederacy. 1 vol, 408 pgs 2020 US, SAVAS BEATIE NEW-dj ......$35.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

Powell, David and Eric Wittenberg TULLAHOMA: The Forgotten Campaign that Changed the Course of the Civil War -- June 23 - July 4, 1863 Details how William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland pushed back Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee entirely out of Middle Tennessee. The brilliant campaign nearly cleared the state of Rebels and changed the calculus of the Civil War in the Western Theater, but went largely unnoticed due to other events. On June 23, 1863, Rosecrans, with 60,000 men, began a classic campaign of maneuver against Bragg's 40,000. Confronted by rugged terrain and a heavily entrenched foe, Rosecrans intended to utilize strategic maneuver to defeat Bragg rather than direct assaults. The complex and fascinating campaign included deceit, hard marching, fighting, and incredible luck-both good and bad. Contains first-hand accounts, 50 images, and 16 maps.1 vol, 408 pgs 2024 US, SAVAS BEATIE NEW-pb, available mid July 2024 ......$25.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
