Joshua Chamberlain's The Passing of the Armies is one of the classic books of Civil War history. When it was posthumously published in 1915, it received acclaim for its Victorian prose and accuracy in bringing to life the final twelve days of the war in Virginia. Although highly critical of Sheridan and defensive of the operations of his Fifth Corps, Chamberlain's work is an important contribution to the true story of this intense fighting. It is an important contribution by a contemporary who, as a distinguished Union officer, witnessed the events he wrote about. The Passing of the Armies is a superb book that belongs in every Civil War library.
About the Author:
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (1828-1914) is one of the Civil War's heroic figures. As regimental commander of the 20th Maine he won the Medal of Honor at the Battle of Gettysburg's Little Round Top. General Grant later selected him to receive the surrender of the Confederate Army at Appomattox, and after the war he went on to serve two terms as Governor of Maine.

The Passing of the Armies (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)
I found the most interesting parts to be:
- his duties between the surrender and disbandment
- the insight into what some of Sherman's army thought of their eastern theater brothers
The end of the war battle commentary was okay but not detailed enough to really understand all the tactical considerations. I should have grabbed my own map and looked up some other resources on the battles to get a view of his part in them.
The Last Review chapter was a slog.
