No Customer Reviews

Osprey's examination of the battle at Chickamagua, one of the decisive campaigns of the American Civil War (1861-1865). By the Autumn of 1863 the Confederacy was in dire straits. In a colossal gamble, Confederate President Jefferson Davis stripped forces from all the major Confederate armies to reinforce the Army of Tennessee in a last ditch attempt to crush the Union. On 19th September the Confederates attacked the Union army along Chickamauga creek south of Chattanooga. On the second day of bloody fighting the entire Union right collapsed and the army retreated headlong for Chattanooga, all except General George H. Thomas' Corps who fought on doggedly until nightfall delaying the confederate advance, saving the Union and earning his fame as the "Rock of Chickamauga".

An Outstanding Chronicle of the British in India

This is definitely one of the better books in the Essential Histories series. It is succinct and very well written. The book follows the usual Essential Histories organization of a chronology, the origins of the conflict, the fighting, etc. There are additional chapters on the Raj and why the mutiny failed. These additional chapters not only provide informative analysis, they also act as a nice way to conclude the book...

First-hand source material and the latest research

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 7, 2007

Gregory Foremont-Barnes' THE INDIAN MUTINY 1857-58 adds to the 'Essential Histories' multi-volume history of war which focuses on war as seen from political, cultural and individual perspectives alike. In the mid-19th century India was the focus of Britain's international and commercial power - its most important colony - but in 1857 there was open rebellion. First-hand source material and the latest research explains why...
