Editorial Reviews: Product Description When Vicksburg fell to Union forces under General Grant in July 1863, the balance turned against the Confederacy in the trans-Appalachian theater. The Federal success along the river opened the way for advances into central and eastern Tennessee, which culminated in the bloody battle of Chickamauga and then a struggle for Chattanooga. Chickamauga is usually counted as a Confederate victory, albeit a costly one. That battle?indeed the entire campaign?is marked by muddle and blunders occasionally relieved by strokes of brilliant generalship and high courage. The campaign ended significant Confederate presence in Tennessee and left the Union poised to advance upon Atlanta and the Confederacy on the brink of defeat in the western theater.

Customer Reviews: Read 1 more reviews... Much better than I expected August 16, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful When a Civil War historian names his son Nathan you would expect a one sided biased account. However, Woodworth is surprisingly even handed in his treatment of the six armies that fought over Chattanooga. He is at his best in describing the backbiting in the southern leadership and the incompetence of Longstreet. This is a thin book. Perhaps too thin for those who would like a little more detail. We still await an indepth look at the Tennesseans who fought for the north. Chicachatta March 8, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful Woodworth is a first-rate writer with an impressive command of the material. The campaign is complicated one and he deals with it well, although not in the detail that Peter Cozzens offers in his landmark books. I have two quibbles: There is no map with the Chickamauga chapter, a battle of mind-bending complexity. Also, Woodworth deals very lightly with Gen. John B. Turchin, surely one of the war's most colorful characters THIS IS A MUST October 3, 2002 8 out of 9 found this review helpful I stumbled upon this title by accident, when I was looking for Civil War books about Tennessee. I am very happy that I did. The book was an easy read, but not so easy that I flew through it without learning anything. One of the best things about the book was Woodworth's writting style. He wrote it in such away that I felt I was there, living these events with the generals and the soldiers from both sides. Having hiked the regions that the events took place in helped too, but even if you have not the descriptions are very strong. He never writes over your head like he expects you to be a Civil War historian, nor does he dumb it down to a fifth grade level. The transitions from the North's side to the South's side of the conflict was brilliantly done. Nothing was left out in going from one side to the other. If events were taking place at the same time Woodworth let you know. When he talked of the battles they were well layed out as to who was doing what,where and when. The thing that I learned most from this book was the internal bickering in the South's upper chain of command. No one was doing what they were suppose to do when they were suppose to do it. It would seem to me,after reading this book, if the generals under Bragg's command would have done as they were told the outcome would have been totally different and maybe even the outcome of the Civil war itself. If you are from Chattanooga or Knoxville, I highly recommend reading this book. If you just like reading Civil War histories this is a must. Lost in the details July 13, 2001 5 out of 8 found this review helpful I found the book to be a very good depiction of the characters of the leaders and of the politics that affected their decisions. However, the major events did not stand out from the details, leaving me wondering about the outcome and significance of the individual encounters. The book constantly changes from north to south with very little indications that a change has taken place, making it very difficult to follow the action. The few maps were very helpful, but there were not nearly enough. this book would be enjoyed more by someone who was already familiar with the terrain and the battles. Six Armies in Tennessee May 7, 2000 6 out of 8 found this review helpful A very good and easy read. This book is written for anyone intrested in the Civil War. A good over view of the thoughts, actions and concepts of each side in this conflict over Tennessee.
