Product Information
Winner, 2014, Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Book Award Richmond Redeemed pioneered study of Civil War Petersburg. The original (and long out of print) award-winning 1981 edition conveyed an epic narrative of crucial military operations in early autumn 1864 that had gone unrecognized for more than 100 years. Readers will rejoice that Richard J. Sommers's masterpiece, in a revised Sesquicentennial edition, is once again available.This monumental study focuses on Grant's Fifth Offensive (September 29 - October 2, 1864), primarily the Battles of Chaffin's Bluff (Fort Harrison) and Poplar Spring Church (Peebles' Farm). The Union attack north of the James River at Chaffin's Bluff broke through Richmond's defenses and gave Federals their greatest opportunity to capture the Confederate capital. The corresponding fighting outside Petersburg at Poplar Spring Church so threatened Southern supply lines that General Lee considered abandoning his Petersburg rail center six months before actually doing so. Yet hard fighting and skillful generalship saved both cities. This book provides thrilling narrative of opportunities gained and lost, of courageous attack and desperate defense, of incredible bravery by Union and Confederate soldiers from 28 states, Maine to Texas. Fierce fighting by four Black brigades earned their soldiers thirteen Medals of Honor and marked Chaffin's Bluff as the biggest, bloodiest battle for Blacks in the whole Civil War. In addition to his focused tactical lens, Dr. Sommers offers rich analysis of the generalship of Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, and their senior subordinates, Benjamin Butler, George G. Meade, Richard S. Ewell, and A. P. Hill.The richly layered prose of Richmond Redeemed, undergirded by thousands of manuscript and printed primary accounts from more than 100 archives, has been enhanced for this Sesquicentennial Edition with new research, new writing, and most of all new thinking. Teaching future strategic leaders of American and allied armed forces in the Army War College, conversing with fellow Civil War scholars, addressing Civil War audiences across the nation, and reflecting on prior assessments over the last 33 years have stimulated in the author new perspectives and new insights. He has interwoven them throughout the book. His new analysis brings new dimensions to this new edition. Dr. Sommers was widely praised for his achievement. In addition to being a selection of the History Book Club, the National Historical Society awarded him the Bell Wiley Prize as the best Civil War book for 1981-82. Reviewers hailed it as "a book that still towers among Civil War campaign studies" and "a model tactical study [that] takes on deeper meaning . . . without sacrificing the human drama and horror of combat."Complete with maps, photos, a full bibliography, and index, Richmond Redeemed is modeled for a new generation of readers, enthusiasts, and Civil War buffs and scholars, all of whom will welcome and benefit from exploring how, 150 years ago, Richmond was redeemed.

Reviews
Richard J. Sommers published a book that still towers among Civil War campaign studies. . . . this trend represents the highest mark of excellence in the genre of battle and campaign studies., All students of the Civil War will read this book with profit and pleasure--so will students of war, of stress, of heroism, of humanity, for this is a book about courage., There can be no question but that here is the definitive history of the fifth offensive in the siege of Richmond., A Civil War classic: a model tactical history . . . [that] takes on deeper meaning . . . without sacrificing the human drama and horror of combat., This is military history at its best. . . . the book does what any outstanding work of history is supposed to do: it forces the reader to think. . . . Richmond Redeemed will be for years the standard against which histories of American military campaigns will be judged., Richmond Redeemed. . . . became an instant classic in 1980 when first published and remains so today. . . . Its stature in the field of Civil War history, and the broader realm of military studies in general, is assured, and this enhanced 150th Anniversary edition generously rewards any who want an intimate look inside a pivotal operation of the penultimate contest between those two giant figures in the American pantheon, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee and the hundreds of thousands of heroes who followed them.

The item was delivered much later than promised but Im sure this was not due to the seller but to the postal service. I did write to say I was concerned and they answere right away and checked the tracking on their end and it came the next day.
