Synopsis

Would be near new except for a slightly spotting on top edge textblock. Inscribed by author for William Safire on half title. A very nice copy. All our books are individually inspected, rated and described. Never EX-LIB unless specifically listed as such.

From the Back Cover

In vivid detail, The Battle of New Market tells of Breckinridge's audacious domination of the battlefield and of Sigel's tragic ineptitude; of the opposing troops, both seasoned and untried; of the fate of prisoners and of the wounded; and, perhaps most memorably, of the gallantry of the cadets who marched from the classrooms of VMI directly into the heat of battle.
