What is The Shipwreck of Their Hopes: The Battles for Chattanooga: The Battles for Chattanooga about?
Civil War enthusiasts will welcome this concluding volume of Peter Cozzens's highly praised trilogy on the Civil War in the West. The battle around Chattanooga in the late fall of 1863 were among the most decisive of the Civil War, opening the Deep South to the Union and setting the stage for the Atlanta campaign and the March to the Sea. After Chattanooga, the principal Confederate army in the West fought without spirit or hope of victory. Cozzens's comprehensive account details movements of individual regiments, even as it reveals the larger impact of the campaign on the outcome of the war. In The Shipwreck of Their Hopes, Cozzens draws on his acclaimed storytelling skills and exhaustive research efforts to fully chronicle one of the South's most humiliating defeats. As in his earlier books, he brings to life the officers and enlisted men who fought the war. | Cover Title Page Copyright Page Dedication Page Table of Contents List of Maps List of Illustrations Acknowledgments One / Changes of Vast Moment Two / Starvation Camp Three / Everyone Here Curses Bragg Four / Audacity Might Yet Bring Us Through Five / A Medal of Honor or Two Ears of Corn Six / Our Lagging Efforts Seven /
