Jeff Shaara’s Civil War Battlefields

by Jeff Shaara

First published 2006

Amazon
2.5(5)

Jeff Shaara selects ten Civil War battlefields and explains why each site matters to an understanding of the conflict. The guide combines concise accounts of the campaigns with practical observations about terrain, monuments, preserved buildings and details that may be missed on a conventional visit.

Rather than attempting an exhaustive military history, the book treats the surviving landscapes as evidence. Gettysburg, Shiloh, Vicksburg and other sites become places where readers can connect command decisions and casualty figures with distance, visibility and the physical ground on which soldiers fought.
