Recommended Reading: Shades
of Blue and Gray: An Introductory Military History of the Civil War (Hardcover: 281 pages) (University of Missouri
Press). Description: Herman Hattaway analyzes the Civil War with an emphasis on contemporary advances in
military technology and their effects on behavior in the field. Ulysses Grant was speaking nearly literally when he wrote,
"the iron gauntlet must be used more than the silken glove to destroy the Confederacy." Continued below...
In the end, Hattaway demonstrates that it was superior iron and steel
that won the Union cause. He examines the development and use of submarines, mines, automatic weapons, balloons, and especially
rifles and artillery, which became so accurate that contending armies took to trench warfare. Battle
by battle, Hattaway retraces the grim course of the war, yielding a helpful introduction to its history, complete with abundant
notes and suggested readings.
Recommended
Reading: The Civil War in North Carolina.
Description: Numerous battles and skirmishes were fought in North Carolina during the Civil War, and the campaigns and battles
themselves were crucial in the grand strategy of the conflict and involved some of the most famous generals of the war. John
Barrett presents the complete story of military engagements across the state, including the classical pitched battle of Bentonville--involving
Generals Joe Johnston and William Sherman--the siege of Fort
Fisher, the amphibious campaigns on the coast, and cavalry sweeps such
as General George Stoneman's Raid.
