Yet military historian Alexander's new look at the Civil War documents how a Confederate victory could have come about--and how close it came to happening. Moving beyond theoretical conjectures to explore actual plans that Confederate generals proposed and the tactics ultimately adopted in the war's key battles, he shows why there is nothing inevitable about military victory, even for a state with overwhelming strength, and provides a startling account of how a relatively small number of tactical and strategic mistakes cost the South the war--and changed the course of history.--From publisher description. 651 0 $a United States $x Campaigns. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Campaigns. 650 0 $a Generals $z Confederate States of America $x History. 610 10 $a Confederate States of America. $b Army $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Strategy $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Command of troops $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Military art and science $z Confederate States of America $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Alexander, Bevin. $t How the South could have won the Civil War. $b 1st ed. $d New York : Crown Publishers, c2007 $w (OCoLC)608346168 941 $a 11 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722020628.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20201013022118.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091109.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719040122.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119012027.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418062837.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824042139.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151001020123.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20131206022945.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20100611032747.0 952 $l AFPD266 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E2F917E2B1111DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
