Title: A stellar telling of a brutal battle.
Product review: Stephen Sears once again shows his great skill in recounting civil war battles. Chancellorsville was indeed a very bloody battle. It was a battle that Union General Hooker was blamed for not winning. Sears research clearly shows that the blame rightly belongs on the shoulders of his subordinates-who did not follow his orders. Besides providing a just defense of Hooker Sears also demonstrates the devastating loss to the south. The accidental shoot of General Stonewall Jackson by his own men. This was the most important event of the battle-the loss of Jackson was described by General Lee as similar to losing an arm. The book reads like a fictional novel and was difficult to put down. If you want a good, fast and factual read of this battle then grab this book.
