Title: A thorough account of one of the most studied battles in history
Product review: Sears presents a fascinating account of one of the world's most-studied battles. Superbly researched and ably written, Sears presents the Chancellorsville campaign through the eyes of its participants, frequently providing superior insight into "why" the military leaders did what they did. Sears posits that the reason Hooker and the Army of the Potomac failed to defeat Lee was more of a function of breakdown in telegraph communications and the failure of one or two Corps commanders, rather than exclusively the result of Hooker's indecisiveness at the critical moment
