Military historian Alexander (Lost Victories et al.)

offers a well-reasoned brief that lays the blame for the

Confederate defeat in the Civil War primarily on President

Jefferson Davis and Gen. Robert E. Lee, and their war-long

insistence on conducting toe-to-toe frontal assaults against the

much-stronger Union Army. Alexander argues that had Davis and Lee

listened to Gen. Stonewall Jackson, things very well could have

turned out differently. Jackson—and like-minded generals Joseph E.

Johnston, Pierre G.T. Beauregard and James Longstreet—warned

against conducting an offensive war against the North. Instead,

they advocated waging unrelenting war against undefended factories,

farms, and railroads north of the Mason-Dixon line, bypassing the

Union Army and winning indirectly by assaulting the Northern

people's will to pursue the war. While Alexander convincingly

argues that there was nothing inevitable about a Southern defeat,

he is no Lost Cause advocate. Instead, he presents well-drawn and

clear-eyed tactical and strategic analyses of the war's most

crucial battles (including First and Second Manassas, Antietam,

Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg) to buttress his

contention that had Jackson not perished in May of 1863 (and had

Lee and Davis adopted Jackson's strategy), the South just might

have won the Civil War. (Dec.)

书籍介绍

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.
