"""...the essays throw fresh light on these events, helping the reader - whether serious scholar or interested layman -- better understand how events unfolded and what life was like. Grant vs. Lee is an interesting and important contribution to Civil War scholarship.""-- ""The NYMAS Review"" ""An important contribution to Civil War scholarship. An engrossing portrait of these important campaigns.""--David Marshall ""Engaging, entertaining, educational, and eclectic, this collection of brief essays by a cadre of 'emerging' Civil War scholars provides hope for the future of accessible Civil War history. Highly recommended.""--A. Wilson Greene, author of ""A Campaign of Giants: The Battle for Petersburg"" ""I like to think of these pieces as Civil War snacks: easily accessible for the informed reader, great for discussion starters, and representative of diverse perspectives on the war. The authors are personable and witty and I think they do a great service to those who have an interest in the last year of the war and are not sure where to start.""--Keith Harris ""Keith Harris History"" ""Informed and informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking, inherently interesting and often surprising... A masterpiece of Civil War scholarship.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"" ""Emerging Civil War has knocked it out of the ballpark again! This riveting collection of essays explores the year-long confrontation between the Civil War's two premier generals--Grant and Lee--focusing not only on the performance of each commander and their subordinate generals, but on the experience of the soldiers and the toll on the home front. Packed with new information and interpretations, this book is a must for students of the Overland and Petersburg campaigns.""--Gordon C. Rhea, author of the 5-volume series on the Overland Campaign ""The actions and decisions of Grant and Lee turned the final eleven months of the Civil War into the most decisive period of the conflict. In Grant vs. Lee, the editors and authors at Emerging Civil War offer enthusiasts of all levels a fantastic collection of essays covering diverse aspects of the Overland, Petersburg, and Appomattox campaigns. This assembly provides new interpretations about traditional topics--such as the strategy and tactics of the battles and campaigns and the trials of the common soldiers--and also examines previously overlooked cultural aspects while challenging persistent myths that have clouded proper understanding. Grant vs. Lee is a welcome addition to the scholarship of this period of the war.""--Tim Talbott, Director of Education & Interpretation, Pamplin Historical Park and the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier"
