This volume covers the last two years of the war, including key events such as the Red River Campaign, the fall of Atlanta, and General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox. With a focus on the broader consequences of the war, Foote delves into the unraveling of the Confederacy and the exhaustion of the Southern people, while also capturing the determination of the Union forces to achieve final victory. This work is notable for its balance, giving careful attention to both Union and Confederate perspectives without losing the depth of the emotional and social impacts of the war.
