Although the twin Federal victory at Gettysburg often captures more
popular attention, many scholars consider Vicksburg to be the Civil
War's decisive action. The Vicksburg Campaign builds on the
campaign's well-established literature, including the author's
Leadership Lessons: The Campaign for Vicksburg, 1862-63 (Casemate,
2011), to provide a readable narrative that synthesizes other
scholarship. It is designed to be an introductory survey of the
campaign for those new to the subject, as well as a convenient
single-volume reference for the more seasoned reader. Sufficient
background information is contained in introductory chapters that
identify the key Federal and Confederate players and the strategic
setting that brought Vicksburg to the forefront of the Western
Theater. The action is then traced from such early failed attempts
as Farragut's navy only effort and Grant's series of canal schemes
to the brilliant campaign of manoeuvre that left Pemberton besieged
inside Vicksburg. In addition to the narrative account, The
Vicksburg Campaign includes information about Vicksburg National
Military Park, the Federal and Confederate Orders of Battle, and
the Medal of Honor at Vicksburg as appendices.
