How the South Could Have Won the Civil War: The Fatal Errors That Led to Confederate Defeat
Destroying conventional historical wisdom, acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander reveals how the South most definitely could have defeated the North-and how close a Confederate victory came to happening. Alexander shows:
•How the Confederacy had its greatest chance to win the war just three months into the fighting-but blew it • How the Confederacy’s three most important leaders- President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson– clashed over how to fight the war • How the Confederate army devised–but never fully exploited–a way to negate the Union’s huge advantages in manpower and weaponry • How Abraham Lincoln and other Northern leaders understood the Union’s vulnerability better than the Confederacy’s leaders did
How the South Could Have Won the Civil War provides a startling account of how a relatively small number of tactical and strategic mistakes cost the South the war and changed the course of history.
