Most Americans can name famous generals and notable battles from the Civil War. With rare exception, they know neither the women of that war nor their part in it. Yet, as this encyclopedia demonstrates, women played a critical role. The book's 400 A–Z entries focus on specific people, organizations, issues, and battles, and a dozen contextual essays provide detailed information about the social, political, and family issues that shaped women's lives during the Civil War era.
Women in the American Civil War satisfies a growing interest in this topic. Readers will learn how the Civil War became a vehicle for expanding the role of women in society. Representing the work of more than 100 scholars, this book treats in depth all aspects of the previously untold story of women in the Civil War.

Terry Winschel is the chief historian of Vicksburg National Military Park, so you couldn't find a better source of information on the Vicksburg campaign. His writing style is accessible, and his material is well thought-out and well researched.
The book consists of ten essays, covering a broad spectrum of subjects. Not just the marches and battles conducted by the Union and Confederate armies are explored here. Winschel touches on the naval aspect of the campaign, some of the controversial generals involved on both sides, civilian life in Vicksburg during the campaign and siege, the political and strategic importance of Vicksburg during the war, and the creation of the Vicksburg park after the war. The essays are all of an easily digestible length, and pleasant prose. The main drawback I encountered is that some of the assertions the author makes, and quotes he refers to, are repeated several times across the ten essays. It may help emphasize some of his points, but it can also feel a bit unnecessary.
Overall, Triumph & Defeat, Vol. 2 is a great way for both casual readers and Civil War buffs to expand their knowledge of this critical part of Civil War and American history.
