"The fall of Atlanta in September 1864 was an important strategic and psychological victory for the war-weary North, virtually assuring that the Union would win the Civil War while assisting Lincoln in his reelection efforts. This concise volume by McMurry . . . closely examines this significant military campaign, places the struggle in its social and political contexts, and includes useful topical appendices and a bibliographical essay. Given its brevity, focus, and the author's unique insights, this readable and well-documented volume will be welcomed by Civil War enthusiasts and scholars alike."- Library Journal, "This book is a little gem . . . a concise synthesis of recent scholarship, but it also bears the unmistakable stamp of its author, who manages to be both iconoclastic and authoritative at the same time. Long one of the leading scholars (and public raconteurs) on the Western Theater of the Civil War, McMurry''s newest book is a sprightly and insightful narrative of the critical 1864 campaign for Atlanta."-The Journal of Military History, ""The fall of Atlanta in September 1864 was an important strategic and psychological victory for the war-weary North, virtually assuring that the Union would win the Civil War while assisting Lincoln in his reelection efforts.
