Spring 1865: The Closing Campaigns of the Civil War: Great Campaigns of the Civil War
Autor Perry D. Jamiesonen Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2015
In Spring 1865 Perry D. Jamieson juxtaposes for the first time the major campaign against Lee that ended at Appomattox and Gen. William T. Sherman’s march north through the Carolinas, which culminated in Gen. Joseph E. Johnston’s surrender at Bennett Place. Jamieson also addresses the efforts required to put down armed resistance in the Deep South and the Trans-Mississippi. As both sides fought for political goals following Lee’s surrender, these campaigns had significant consequences for the political-military context that shaped the end of the war as well as Reconstruction.

"A valuable addition to Civil War historiography."—Nathan Marzoli, Military Review
"The true value of this book is Jamieson's in-depth portrayal of the armies and their leaders, heroes and fools as they struggled to the bitter end."—Kirkus
"Jamieson covers the many facets of his history with extraordinary precision and verve, offering rich biographical detail, solid research, appropriate maps and illustrations, and spot-on analysis."—John Carver Edwards, Library Journal
"Readers looking for an authoritative single volume on the campaigns that ended the Civil War will want to consider Spring 1865. Jamieson proves himself an able master of the narrative who never discards his penchant for strong analysis. As a balanced synthesis of the best interpretations available, it is a welcome addition to the "Great Campaigns" series."—Zachery A. Fry, Civil War Book Review
"This book is well worth your time."—Larry T. Balsamo, Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society

"This book is highly recommended to any student of the Civil War."—Mark L. Bradley, Army History
"An engaging synthesis of the Civil War's closing campaigns in the eastern and western theaters. . . . This is a fine contribution to the Great Campaigns of the Civil War series."—Jennifer M. Murray, Historian
“The last spring of the Civil War witnessed a series of compelling episodes that assured Union triumph after four tumultuous years that reshaped the republic. Perry D.

Gallagher, John L. Nau III Professor in the History of the American Civil War at the University of Virginia and author of The Union War
“An engaging narrative of how the final six months played out and the military and political decisions that led to the final outcome. . . . Crisp, page-turning.”—Judkin Browning, author of The Seven Days’ Battles: The War Begins Anew
