With a Sword in One Hand and Jomini in the Other(Reprint)

ISBN-13: 978-1-4696-4230-7, ISBN: 1-4696-4230-1

"When the Civil War began, Northern soldiers and civilians alike sought a framework to help make sense of the chaos that confronted them. Many turned first to the classic European military texts from the Napoleonic era, especially Antoine Henri Jomini's Summary of the Art of War. As Carol Reardon shows, Jomini's work was only one voice in what ultimately became a lively and contentious national discourse about how the North should conduc ..."

Carol Reardon chronicles the operations of Attack Squadron 75, the "Sunday Punchers," and their high-r ..."






Pickett's Charge in History and Memory(1st Edition)

ISBN-13: 978-0-8078-5461-7, ISBN: 0-8078-5461-1

"If, as many have argued, the Civil War is the most crucial moment in our national life and Gettysburg its turning point, then the climax of the climax, the central moment of our history, must be Pickett's Charge. But as Carol Reardon notes, the Civil War saw many other daring assaults and stout defenses. Why, then, is it Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg--and not, for example, Richardson's Charge at Antietam or Humphreys's Assault at Frede ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-7006-1112-6, ISBN: 0-7006-1112-6

"The use and abuse of military history is the theme of this book. Historian Carol Reardon scrutinizes the Army's relationship to its own history and traces the Army's attempts, from the end of the Civil War through the Progressive Era, to lay claim to the discipline of military history.

"One of his men later wrote that not a single member of the unit blamed him for his decisions: “On the contrary, the brigade heartily approved of his course, and its survivors are yet grateful to him for the firm stand he took and for the interest and fatherly solicitude he always manifested in the wellbeing of his men.”4 Brigadier General Henry Lewis Benning (1814–75), a Georgia native, enjoyed an outstanding legal career during th ..."

"Surgeon Joseph Holt of the 2nd Mississippi contributed a stirring bit of battle lore with his tale of the wounding and death of the 11th's “singularly self-confident and manly” Sgt. Jere Gage and his efforts to write a farewell letter to his family. Ward also turned to another kind of quantitative evidence to make sure that the Virginia version of Pickett's Charge would not become “the crowning act of glory in the tragic drama of G ..."

Joseph Hooker, once again confronted each other across the Rappahannock River near Fredericksburg, Virginia.
