Guide to the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign cover

Lasting from June 1864 through April 1865, the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign was the longest of the Civil War, dwarfing even the Atlanta and Vicksburg campaigns in its scope and complexity. This compact yet comprehensive guide allows armchair historian and battlefield visitor alike to follow the campaign’s course, with a clear view of its multi-faceted strategic, operation, tactical and human dimensions.

A concise, single-volume collection of official reports and personal accounts, the guide is organised in one-day and multi-day itineraries that take the reader to all the battlefields of the campaign, some of which have never before been interpreted and described for the visitor so extensively. Comprehensive campaign and battle maps reflect troop movements, historical terrain features and modern roads for ease of understanding and navigation. A uniquely useful resource for the military enthusiast and the battlefield traveller, this is the essential guide for anyone hoping to see the historic landscape and the human face of this most decisive campaign of the Civil War.
