Summary |
"Vividly recreating one of the most dramatic battles in American history, Darkness at Chancellorsville brings to life what began as a brilliant, triumphant campaign for the Union forces under "Fighting Joe" Hooker, only to falter when faced with the genius of Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee. Soldiers in tattered gray bring off an against-all-odds victory over the blue-clad force three times their number as the Union army struggles with internal rivalries, anti-immigrant prejudice, and selfish ambition-and soldiers on both sides suffer and bleed by the thousands" -- Front jacket flap. |
