Title: A very detailed account of this western Civil War battle.
Review: Cozzens tells the story of the Battle of Chickamauga at the brigade/regiment level. I would recommend that anyone reading this book have a good understanding of the battle before hand. This book presents the battle at the brigade/regiment level, sometimes at the company level. The maps are the best I've ever seen and allow the reader to follow the various actions easily. I did find it difficult at times to follow the battle at the grand tactical(corps/division)level because of the detail at brigade/regiment level being told. At times it was difficult figuring out what part of the battlefield the action was taking place in. Cozzens describes in great detail just how badly the Union Army was defeated here. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a lot of military detail.
