Özet

On Sunday, December 7, 1862, two armies collided at an obscure Arkansas hamlet named Prairie Grove in a desperate battle that effectively ended Confederate offensive operations west of the Mississippi River. In Fields of Blood, historian William L. Shea offers a gripping narrative of the events surrounding Prairie Grove, one of the great unsung battles of the Civil War.

Shea provides a colorful account of a grueling campaign that lasted five months and covered hundreds of miles of rugged Ozark terrain. In a fascinating analysis of the personal, geographical, and strategic elements that led to the fateful clash in northwest Arkansas, he describes a campaign notable for rapid marching, bold movements, hard fighting, and the most remarkable raid of the Civil War. After months of intricate maneuvering punctuated by five battles in three states, armies led by Thomas C. Hindman and James G. Blunt met one last time at Prairie Grove. The costly daylong struggle was a tactical draw but a key strategic victory for the Union, as the Confederates never again seriously attempted to recover Missouri or threaten Kansas.Historians have long ignored the complex campaign that ended in such spectacular fashion at Prairie Grove, but it is at last brought to life in these pages.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"The enormous strength of the book is the portrayal of Glasgow in the ‘80s and the religious discrimination, lack of jobs, the housing situation and so on. In addition there is excellent characterisation especially with Paddy ‘leaping off the page’ and her colleagues, ‘Father’ Richards, Dr Pete and Heather Allen also leave a strong impression. Katy Anderson gives this her all, providing a splendid rendition, particularly of the young, gauche Paddy." Karen Meek

I have read this book many times and regard it as my favourite account of a civil war Campaign. When the audiobook appeared I snapped it up. I wasn't disapointed. While I already loved this book the narration by Jeremy Gage made it even better!

Excellent book. Excellent Narration.
