This book follows the men of the 5th Corps and the Army of the
Potomac through the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, with
the army condemned to move blindly through enemy territory without
the benefit of cavalry scouting or screening. It considers the lost
opportunities of June 1864, when Grant's masterly movement of the
Army of the Potomac across the James to confront the enemy at
Petersburg should have ended in victory and the fall of Richmond.
Bungling and complacency doomed the attacks onPetersburg's
fortifications, and instead of victory, the battered Federals were
condemned to a drawn-out siege, and another 10 months of war.
Finally, it considers what happened to a number of the prominent
Federal participants in the Overland Campaign during the last year
of the war and after. Many of those who lied and cheated their way
to the top became government leaders and the authors of policy for
years to come.
