the strategic and tactical operations around Petersburg during the
last ten months of the Civil War. Hess covers all aspects of the
Petersburg campaign, from important engagements that punctuated the
long months of siege to mining and countermining operations, the
fashioning of wire entanglements and the laying of torpedo fields
to impede attacks, and the construction of underground shelters to
protect the men manning the works. In the Trenches at Petersburg
humanizes the experience of the soldiers working in the
fortifications and reveals the human cost of trench warfare in the
waning days of the struggle. |In the Trenches at Petersburg, the
