The climactic Battle of Chickamauga lasted just two days  yet it was nearly as costly as Gettysburg  with casualties among the highest in the war.  In this study of the campaign  the first to appear in over thirty years and the most comprehensive account ever written on Chickamauga  Peter Cozzens presents a vivid narrative about an engagement that was crucial to the outcome of the war in the West. Drawing upon a wealth of previously untapped sources  Cozzens offers startling new interpretations that challenge the conventional wisdom on key moments of the battle  such as Rosecranss fateful order to General Wood and Thomass historic defense of Horseshoe Ridge.  Chickamauga was a battle of missed opportunities  stupendous tactical blunders  and savage fighting by the men in ranks. Cozzens writes movingly of both the heroism and suffering of the common soldiers and of the strengths and tragic flaws of their commanders. Enhanced by the detailed battle maps and original sketches by the noted artist Keith Rocco  this book will appeal to all Civil War enthusiasts and students of military history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44957154312245,"sku":"ByrdShop_025201703X","price":31.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780252017032.jpg?v=1770325567","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/this-terrible-sound-the-battle-of-chickamauga-civil-war-trilogy","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
