Book excerpt: "The War for the Union: The Organized War (1863-1864)" and "The Organized War to Victory (1864-1865)" complete the award-winning magnum opus "Ordeal of the Union." In this volume Allan Nevins concludes his definitive history of the American Civil War. There is the bloody grinding-down of Confederate resolve, as the Union Army burns Atlanta, Sherman marches to the sea, Lee fails at Gettysburg, and the slow death grip between two great armies in the Battle of the Wilderness winds down in to Appomottox. As these events take center stage, Nevins never forgets the importance of the economic build-up of the North, and the ways that exigencies of war served to create a new concept and new techniques of organization. The work closes with the assasination of Lincoln, the succession of Johnson, and the demobilization of the armies. Returning to the pursuits of peace, America is at once faced with new problems, and a new optimism. "Ordeal of the Union" is one of the most important historical works ever written, and is now available for the first time (complete and unabridged) in paperback in four handsome volumes.

Download or read book The Union Victory written by Dale Anderson and published by Gareth Stevens Secondary Library. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers the last two years of the Civil War. Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union lieutenant general Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. This book covers the key events leading up to the surrender, including Sherman's capture of Atlanta and famous march with his Union troops through Georgia. The election of 1864 proved that Union soldiers and citizens were behind President Lincoln and his twin goals of reunifying the country and freeing the slaves. An assassin's bullet ended Lincoln's life but not the country's relief at the finish of the long war.
Download or read book The war for the Union written by Allan Nevins and published by Konecky & Konecky. This book was released on 1971 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This account of the first year of the Civil War is much more than a merely military chronicle in which politicians stride on and off the stage. This volume, the first of four dedicated to the War, is a study of the transformation of a nation. Dr. Nevins is supremely conscious of the chaos that faced Lincoln on inauguration day and well aware that confusion could not be finally routed before Appomattox. But the author is also positive that in the opening months of the conflict the first steps were taken to transform the loosely organized country that fretted over Bull Run into the firmly knit nation that emerged in 1865. The war was fought for a more perfect union, and this the reader is never allowed to forget."--Publisher's description.
Download or read book War on the Waters written by James M. McPherson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although previously undervalued for their strategic impact because they represented only a small percentage of total forces, the Union and Confederate navies were crucial to the outcome of the Civil War. In War on the Waters, James M. McPherson has crafted an enlightening, at times harrowing, and ultimately thrilling account of the war's naval campaigns and their military leaders. McPherson recounts how the Union navy's blockade of the Confederate coast, leaky as a sieve in the war's early months, became increasingly effective as it choked off vital imports and exports. Meanwhile, the Confederate navy, dwarfed by its giant adversary, demonstrated daring and military innovation. Commerce raiders sank Union ships and drove the American merchant marine from the high seas. Southern ironclads sent several Union warships to the bottom, naval mines sank many more, and the Confederates deployed the world's first submarine to sink an enemy vessel. But in the end, it was the Union navy that won some of the war's most important strategic victories--as an essential partner to the army on the ground at Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, Mobile Bay, and Fort Fisher, and all by itself at Port Royal, Fort Henry, New Orleans, and Memphis.
