The Writing of Official Military History
by
This book provides students, faculty, and general readers with specific information and insights into the ways in which official military history has been written and why. Coverage is international in scope. The volume serves as an introduction to two forthcoming books: Official Military Histories Since 1967: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and India and Official Military Histories Since 1967: The Western Hemisphere and the Pacific Rim. Together, the three books will provide the only comprehensive source of information on historical offices and official histories since Robin Higham's classic book, Official Histories, was published in 1970.
The Army of the Potomac
by Russel H. Beatie
There have been many studies of the generals who commanded the Union's victorious Army of the Potomac, but none has considered the corps, division, and brigade commanders (and their all-important staff officers) through the entire war--until now. Placing their actions in the social, political, military, and economic context of the day, this original and thought-provoking book examines in meticulous detail the command and performance of the brave and controversial officers of the Union's main fighting force. This study in command, the first of a multi-volume work, is based entirely on manuscript sources, many of which have never before been examined. As a result, the narrative and conclusions about the actions of many of the Union's prominent generals differ--often significantly--from traditional historical thinking. What emerges is a much different picture of these men and how their personalities influenced their command decisions and the political atmosphere that influenced and determined their military careers. THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC is about the leaders as men--their successes and failures commanding the Union's largest army.
