When Vicksburg fell to Union forces under General Grant in July 1863, the balance turned against the Confederacy in the trans-Appalachian theater. The Federal success along the river opened the way for advances into central and eastern Tennessee, which culminated in the bloody battle of Chickamauga and then a struggle for Chattanooga. Chickamauga is usually counted as a Confederate victory, albeit a costly one. That battle - indeed the entire campaign - is marked by muddle and blunders occasionally relieved by strokes of brilliant generalship and high courage. The campaign ended significant Confederate presence in Tennessee and left the Union poised to advance upon Atlanta and the Confederacy on the brink of defeat in the western theater.

I am a Civil War buff; not an expert, but an avid and enthusiastic consumer of information.
I listened to the book on a road trip from Northern Virginia across WV, KY, IN and IL, passing by some of the places mentioned in the book. This made the narrative an even more personal experience for me.
The research appears to be comprehensive and the story parts well-integrated. It gave me a whole new perspective on the Tennessee campaigns. I know many of the places mentioned in the book and was fascinated by the history of place and people revealed. I have a much deeper insight into the motivations and circumstances for decisions made by the leaders and immediate subordinates of the Armies.
The narration is excellent, making listening an absolute pleasure. It was rather like sitting around the campfire trading stories with an old, very well-informed, friend.
I highly recommend this book.

Great narrative

The book covers tactical actions of river crossings, turning movements, complex terrain, and the political motivations for both sides in winning the important territory of Eastern Tennessee. Logistical problems plagued both sides. Lines of communication were critical and resources were scarce as adjacent theaters pulled attention. Command personalities and the trust of subordinates would be critical to winning the day. Ultimately the trust between Sherman and Grant and Grant’s keen eye for capable planners on the ground established the conditions for success. Meanwhile the Confederates under Bragg could not get out of their own way despite valiant attempts.
Short yet incisive. This work belongs kn the shelf of any student of war especially those seeking to understand the links between levels of war and the art of campaigning. Much like the Italian and Southeast Asia Commands in World War Two, this is an oft forgotten yet rich subject.
Concise yet comprehensive
