From Atlanta to victoryIn this second volume of General Cox’s personal view of the great American Civil War, we join him as a divisional commander concluding his part in the operations in East Tennessee prior to a change of theatre as the campaign about Atlanta commences. Cox’s close contact with the principal figures of the Union Army, and his in depth knowledge of the opposing soldiers of the Confederate forces, combine with his historian’s ability to relate events in which he was personally involved in a wider historical context to create a unique memoir. So it is that the reader is able to follow the campaigns against Hood at Nashville and the ultimate collapse of the Confederate States, whilst sharing the phenomenon of remedying the filling of one’s boots with water whilst remaining mounted for long periods. For those fascinated by the American Civil War, Cox is a highly companionable narrator throughout his essential memoirs.
