An excellent, detailed account of Chancellorsville
This book is an excellent summary of the actions and reactions making up the battle of Chancellorsville. It debunks many of the myths surrounding both the Union and Confederate armies and generals. Sears does his best to relate exactly what happend (as near as we can tell).At times, though, the text falters. Especially when you're trying to keep all the regiments, people, and locations straight. I also thought that this book didn't read as smoothly as others, for example, Shelby Foote's Civil War series.All-in-all, though, this book is definitely worth the read.
