Synopsis
During the battle of Gettysburg, as Union troops along Cemetery Ridge rebuffed Pickett's Charge, they were heard to shout, "Give them Fredericksburg " Their cries reverberated from a clash that, although fought some six months earlier, clearly loomed large in the minds of Civil War soldiers. Fought on December 13, 1862, the battle of Fredericksburg ended in a stunning defeat for the Union. Confederate general Robert E. Lee suffered roughly 5,000 casualties but inflicted more than twice that many losses--nearly 13,000--on his opponent, General Ambrose Burnside. As news of the Union loss traveled north, it spread a wave of public despair that extended all the way to President Lincoln. In the beleaguered Confederacy, the southern victory bolstered flagging hopes, as Lee and his men began to take on an aura of invincibility. George Rable offers a gripping account of the battle of Fredericksburg and places the campaign within its broader political, social, and military context. Blending battlefield and home front history, he not only addresses questions of strategy and tactics but also explores material conditions in camp, the rhythms and disruptions of military life, and the enduring effects of the carnage on survivors--both civilian and military--on both sides., Fought on December 13, 1862, the battle of Fredericksburg ended in a stunning defeat for the Union.

Filed claim with eBay for refund, seller finally shipped book one day before eBay intervention. Almost 3 weeks to get book. Never bothered to contact me to explain, apologize, nothing. Not only a violation of eBay policy, but really unprofessional & inconsiderate. eBay really needs to start policing sellers like this. Will not buy from this seller again!
- e***e (10)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaShipping a Britannica set coast to coast is not easy, but the seller did an excellent job. First, the books were carefully cleaned. Then, they were wrapped in plastic in pairs, then wrapped again into cubes. They were then surrounded by several layers of heavy foam sheets, and placed in stout cardboard boxes. The post office tried their darndest to destroy one of the three boxes, but all of the books arrived in perfect condition. I definitely recommend booksforbrainsllc.
