Books by David Eicher

Here, Eicher provides an authoritative modern battle history that spans the entire Civil War, covering major battles such as Gettysburg and Chancellorsville, as well as lesser-known actions. Drawing on hundreds of sources, he discusses leading figures in the war and militarily significant topics.

America's most brilliant young Civil War historian offers a radical new way of understanding the South's defeat: that the Confederacy was defeated by self-inflicted wounds.
