Following the disastrous defeat at Chickamauga, Union forces were
in disarray and the tactically vital Chattanooga was under siege
and on the brink of falling. Secretary of War William Stanton
ordered Ulysses Grant to send the Army of Tennessee to reinforce
Chattanooga. Grant had already reacted. The situation was dire. It
required outstanding leadership to rescue the situation. President
Abraham Lincoln decided Grant was the man for the occasion. In
early October, Grant was promoted to command of the Military
District of Mississippi and told to clean up the mess created by
Chickamauga. With those orders a new campaign began: the
Chattanooga Campaign. This book tracks how over the next three
months Grant would orchestrate the movements of three Union Armies
- The Army of the Cumberland, The Army of the Tennessee, and two
Corps from the Army of the Potomac. He would lead them into a
series of battles that saw them break the siege of Chattanooga
before in three battles in three days the Union forces broke the
Confederate army entrenched in the heights overlooking Chattanooga.
