Product Description
Gordon Rhea’s gripping fourth volume on the spring 1864 campaign―which pitted Ulysses S. Grant against Robert E. Lee for the first time in the Civil War―vividly re-creates the battles and maneuvers from the stalemate on the North Anna River through the Cold Harbor offensive.
Cold Harbor: Grant and Lee, May 26–June 3, 1864 showcases Rhea’s tenacious research which elicits stunning new facts from the records of a phase oddly ignored or mythologized by historians. In clear and profuse tactical detail, Rhea tracks the remarkable events of those nine days, giving a surprising new interpretation of the famous battle that left seven thousand Union casualties and only fifteen hundred Confederate dead or wounded. Here, Grant is not a callous butcher, and Lee does not wage a perfect fight. Within the pages of
Cold Harbor, Rhea separates fact from fiction in a charged, evocative narrative. He leaves readers under a moonless sky, with Grant pondering the eastward course of the James River fifteen miles south of the encamped armies.
