The Petersburg Campaign: June 1864-April 1865

John Horn

"The Petersburg Campaign: June 1864-April 1865" describes the longest, bloodiest campaign in American history. It investigates the larger battles of the campaign, such as The Crater, Fort Stedman and Five Forks, along with smaller actions such as the Beefsteak raid and the Apple Jack raid. Complete orders of battle note the forces engaged before and after the months of active campaigning. Casualty figures are also listed. This book is the first and still the only detailed chronicle of the longest and one of the most important campaigns of the Civil War.
