Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A definitive study of strategy, river warfare, and Union triumph in the Mississippi Valley.Island No. 10: Struggle for the Mississippi Valley is a deeply researched, narrative-driven history of the Civil War New Madrid-Island No. 10 campaign in 1862--an episode overshadowed by Fort Donelson and Shiloh yet vital to Union mastery of the Mississippi River. The authors argue that the campaign was far more consequential than its marginalization in traditional Civil War histories suggests, demonstrating that the fall of Island No. 10 consolidated Union control of the upper Mississippi, accelerated the collapse of Confederate fortunes in the West, and highlighted the transformative power of joint Army-Navy operations. The book's strengths lie in its rich use of diaries, letters, official military records, and contemporary press accounts, weaving together strategy, engineering, naval innovation, politics, and the lived experience of soldiers. Vivid descriptions of fortification design, the ironclad flotilla, the dramatic night battery runs, and the grueling canal-cutting operation offer readers a ground-level and command-level view of the campaign. Larry J. Daniel, an acclaimed Civil War historian and award-winning author of Cannoneers in Gray and Soldiering in the Army of Tennessee, together with Lynn N. Bock, a historian, attorney, and longtime steward of New Madrid's local history, bring scholarly authority and regional expertise to the subject. This book will captivate readers interested in Civil War military history, riverine warfare, engineering feats, and the Western theater. It is especially valuable for scholars, buffs seeking a fresh perspective on neglected campaigns, students of joint operations, and anyone exploring how geography, logistics, and technology shaped the course of the war. 216 pp. Englisch.…
