Colonel Rogers' study of the equipment, organization and method of
fighting of the Civil War armies has been unavailable for some
years. Colonel Rogers not only drew upon his experience as a
decorated British Army officer to take a fresh look at the
structure of the Northern and Southern armies and select
representative actions, but he made often surprising use of
eyewitness accounts by European observers of Civil War
organization, unit capabilities and actions.Rogers examines in
detail each branch of the armies, not only infantry, cavalry and
artillery, but engineers, signals, railways, supply, medical,
staff, and naval support. Emphasis is placed on the state of these
units at the outbreak of war and how this influenced their later
operations. Chancellorsville is selected as the major example of
the units in action, but novel use is made of other engagements,
some of them neglected in recent years. American writers have
somewhat downplayed the large number of European military
professionals who traveled with or observed the Civil War armies,
but Rogers makes good use of the descriptions left by Garnet
Wolseley, Arthur Fremantle, the Comte de Paris, the Duc de
Chartres, and war artist Frank Vizetelly in what is still a fresh
and perceptive analysis.
