Top military historians examine one of the bloodiest clashes
between Grant and Lee. The Spotsylvania Campaign was a crucial
period in the protracted confrontation between Ulysses S. Grant and
Robert E. Lee in spring 1864. Approaching the campaign from a
variety of perspectives, the contributors to this volume explore
questions regarding high command, tactics and strategy, the impact
of continuous fighting on officers and soldiers in both armies, and
the ways in which some participants chose to remember and interpret
the campaign. They offer insight into the decisions and behavior of
Lee and of Federal army leaders, the fullest descriptions to date
of the horrific fighting at the 'Bloody Angle' on May 12, and a
revealing look at how Grant used his memoirs to counter Lost Cause
interpretations of his actions at Spotsylvania and elsewhere in the
Overland Campaign. The contributors are William A. Blair, Peter S.
Carmichael, Gary W. Gallagher, Robert E. L. Krick, Robert K. Krick,
William D. Matter, Carol Reardon, and Gordon C. Rhea.
