{"product_id":"triumph-and-defeat-the-vicksburg-campaign-volume-2","title":"Triumph and Defeat: The Vicksburg Campaign: Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe study of the Civil War in the Western Theater is more popular now than ever before  and the center of that interest is the months-long Vicksburg Campaign  which is the subject of National Park Historian Terrence J. Winschels new book Triumph \u0026amp; Defeat: The Vicksburg Campaign  Vol 2.  Following up on the popular success of his earlier book of the same name  Winschel offers ten new chapters of insights into what has been declared by many to have been the most decisive campaign of the Civil War. Designed to appeal to both general readers and serious students  Winschels essays cover a wide range of topics  including military operations  naval engagements  leading personalities  and even a specific family caught up in the nightmarish 47-day siege that nearly cost them their lives.  Smoothly written and deeply researched  these fresh chapters offer balanced and comprehensive analysis written with the authority that only someone who has served as Vicksburgs Chief Historian since 1978 can produce. Bolstered by photographs  illustrations  and numerous outstanding original maps  this second volume in the Triumph \u0026amp; Defeat series will stand as a lasting contribution to the study of the Civil War.
