About this title

From Booklist:

The third of four massive volumes constituting a comprehensive history of the Civil War's last year suggests that Lowry will complete the whole project admirably. The four months, September-December 1864, began with Union war weariness running high and ended with the Confederacy on the ropes. Grant held Lee at Petersburg, Virginia, Sherman captured Atlanta and marched to the sea, Sheridan cleaned out the Shenandoah Valley, and Hood's Army of the Tennessee was wrecked in its final campaign. Lowry does justice to all of these as well as to intriguing side events, such as Confederate covert operations in the North and the semiguerrilla warfare beyond the Mississippi. This is a superior contribution to the narrative histories of the Civil War. Roland Green
