Fair Oaks, the Seven Days, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, Petersburg―the list of significant battles fought by the Second Corps, Army of the Potomac, is a long and distinguished one. This absorbing history of the Second Corps follows the unit's creation and rise to prominence, the battles that earned it a reputation for hard fighting, and the legacy its veterans sought to maintain in the years after the Civil War. More than an account of battles, Defeating Lee gets to the heart of what motivated these men, why they fought so hard, and how they sustained a spirited defense of cause and country long after the guns had fallen silent.

Published as part of Indiana University Press's distinguished Civil War series, Defeating Lee provides the definitive modern operational and social history of the Union Army of the Potomac's fabled Second Corps. Under the aggressive combat leadership of commanders Edwin Sumner, Darius Couch, and particularly Winfield Scott Hancock, the Second Corps fought in every major Eastern Theater engagement from the Peninsula through Antietam, Fredericksburg, the Sunken Road, the defense of Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the Bloody Angle at Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and the final encirclement of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House. Drawing extensively upon previously unpublished letters, diaries, regimental casualty returns, and official after-action reports, historian Lawrence A. Kreiser, Jr. explores not only high-level grand tactics but also the unit's evolving political beliefs, morale under catastrophic attrition, and steadfast veteran identity. An essential, highly regarded scholarly unit history for Civil War historians and Eastern Theater military collections. N° de réf. du vendeur 1010200291
