This new addition to the Great Campaigns series features a tactical approach to the final drama of the Civil War. Innovative maps  sidebars and charts complement a dramatic narrative. The fall of Petersburg and Richmond  the last battles at Five Forks  Sailors Creek  and Dinwiddie Court House  and the final surrender at Appomattox are all described by an author whose knowledge of the historical sources is equaled by his familiarity with the area over which the armies marched and fought.The author provides a day-to-day narrative of this fascinating campaign  with a series of specially commissioned maps that make clear the complex series of maneuvers that finally brought Lees beleaguered army to bay. Special sidebars highlight many incidents and personalities of the campaign  including never-before-published information on African-Americans in Confederate service.
