Title: Finally, a great book on the final days of Petersburg!
Review: Excellent book! If you've liked Gordon Rhea's books on the Overland Campaign then you'll want to add this to your collection. Wilson Greene writes that the final battles of the Petersburg Campaign were not the "done deals" as most Civil War students seem to think. Even though we know the eventual outcome, the story itself is very suspenseful. Even the footnotes provide valuable information on modern day roads and other books I might have overlooked. The book is filled with details,(including many excellent maps), but never bogs down. I've lived in the Petersburg area for several years and this book has given me a new found appreciation for the area and its history.
