Synthesis and analysis of military operations in Tennessee in 1863, culminating in Grant's victory at the battle of Chattanooga
Steven E. Woodworth is an assistant professor of history at Texas Christian University. His books include "Chickamauga: A Battlefield Guide" (Nebraska 1998).
"Woodworth traces how several bloody campaigns, marked by serious blunders on both sides, helped seal the Confederacy's fate... A fine analysis of strategic and tactical operations, stressing the influence of commanders on the success, or failure, of their armies, while not losing sight of the grim experience of war for frontline troops."--Kirkus. "Concise and easily read ... To give a full picture of the battles here, Woodworth takes us to Hoover's Gap and Tullahoma, McLemore's Cove and Knoxville, and ties those important facets into one seamless story that enables the reader to grasp the full significance of the whole campaign."--Chattanooga Free Press. "Woodworth does not shy from provocative analysis, especially when it concerns the Confederate high command."--H-Net Reviews.
