The bloody crucible of courage
An interesting perspective of the developments in tactics and weaponry during the American Civil War. Occasionally he digressed for too long on reviewing events that actually occurred (such as Hampton Roads) which I could read elsewhere. The material is much better when he is talking technology, or reviewing why certain things occurred. Generally his examples were spot on and his conclusions interesting. The muzzle loader vs repeater debate seems astounding to a modern reader, it is a challenge to place oneself at the time of the decision makers rather than view them with the full benefit of hindsight. This book is worth a look for any Civil War or military history buff.
