Description:
Urbana & Chicago, University of Illinois Press, 1991, ©1990. Soft Cover. xi, 281 p., [10] p. of plates, illus., maps, ports.; 22.5 cm. "Cozzens provides a much-needed, balanced account of the Stones River (Murfreesboro) campaign. He sets Stones River in its historical context by analyzing the military situation in mid-1862. After his invasion of Kentucky failed, the South's Braxton Bragg retreated his army to central Tennessee and waited for a Union move. Meanwhile, there was intense pressure on the Union's William Rosecrans for a victory that would help Washington politically and diplomatically. Rosecrans's subsequent offensive led to Stones River. Most of the book covers the battle itself (December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863)." ISBN(10) 0252062299. Stock#46653. Good+, soft cover.
