Description

Recounting the final year of the Civil War, this classic volume by Bruce Catton won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for excellence in non-fiction.

In this final volume of the Army of the Potomac Trilogy, Catton, The united states’s foremost Civil War historian, takes the reader through the battles of the Wilderness, the Bloody Angle, Cold Harbot, the Crater, and on through the horrible months to one moment at Appomattox. Grant, Meade, Sheridan, and Lee vividly come to life in all their failings and triumphs.
If each and every historian wrote like Bruce Catton, nobody would read fiction. This marvelously well-told account of the final year of the Civil War marches readers from Wilderness, through Petersburg, and in any case to the climax at Appomattox. The give up scene, when Grant and Lee meet at last, is spine tingling. That is the third book of Catton’s Army of the Potomac trilogy. Additionally it is the most efficient of the bunch, although the first two, Mr. Lincoln’s Army and Glory Road, are both exceptional. To not be missed. –John Miller
