About The Fredericksburg Campaign: Winter War On The
Product Description The battle at Fredericksburg, Virginia, in December 1862 involved hundreds of thousands of men; produced staggering, unequal casualties (13,000 Federal soldiers compared to 4,500 Confederates); ruined the career of Ambrose E. Burnside; embarrassed Abraham Lincoln; and distinguished Robert E. Lee as one of the greatest military strategists of his era. Francis Augustín O'Reilly draws upon his intimate knowledge of the battlegrounds to discuss the unprecedented nature of Fredericksburg's warfare. Lauded for its vivid description, trenchant analysis, and meticulous research, his award-winning book makes for compulsive reading.

Lee Civil War Round Table of New Jersey) Winner of the Capitol District Civil War Round Table Book Award (The Capital District Civil War Round Table) A stupendous effort by a well-known expert on the subject. . . . The definitive work on the battle. ( North & South) Winner of the Daniel Laney Book Award (Austin Civil War Round Table) The story is in the hands of a master craftsman: one who knows the battle well and knows how it should be told. The interweaving of strategy, field tactics, logistics and supply, politics, weather, and terrain is nearly seamless.
