Fought in a tangled forest fringing the south bank of the
Rapidan River, the Battle of the Wilderness marked the initial
engagement in the climactic months of the Civil War in Virginia,
and the first encounter between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.
In an exciting narrative, Gordon C. Rhea provides the consummate
recounting of that conflict of May 5 and 6, 1864, which ended with
high casualties on both sides but no clear victor. With its
balanced analysis of events and people, command structures and
strategies, The Battle of the Wilderness is operational history as
it should be written.
