"Alexander argues persuasively that the wartime policies of President Jefferson Davis and the military strategy of General Robert E. Lee led to the failure of the Confederacy. . . . Thought-provoking and informative." -Washington Post From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Could the South have won the Civil War? To many, the very question seems absurd. After all, the Confederacy had only a third of the population and one-eleventh of the industry of the North. Wasn't the South's defeat inevitable? Not at all, as acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander reveals in this provocative and counterintuitive new look at the Civil War. In fact, the South most definitely could have won the war, and Alexander documents exactly how a Confederate victory could have come about-and how close it came to happening. Moving beyond fanciful theoretical conjectures to explore actual plans that Confederate generals proposed and the tactics ultimately adopted in the war's key battles,How the South Could Have Won the Civil Waroffers surprising analysis on topics such as: 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 Civil War's decisive turning point came in a battle that the Rebel army never needed to fight 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 true vulnerability better than the Confederacy's top leaders did How it is a myth that the Union army's accidental discovery of Lee's order of battle doomed the South's 1862 Maryland campaign How the South failed to heed the important lessons of its 1863 victory at Chancellorsville How the South Could Have Won the Civil Warshows why there is nothing inevitable about military victory, even for a state with overwhelming strength. Alexander 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. From the Hardcover edition., Acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander's surprising new book shows how the Confederacy nearly defeated the much larger and better equipped Union army, and reveals the fatal mistakes that led to the South's defeat. Debunking some of the most common assumptions about this great conflict, How the South Could Have Won the Civil War will transform the way you see the war. Book jacket.

- 3***u (451)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseItem is as described. Poor communication from the seller regarding extremely slow shipping - had to contact eBay to get his attention to actually ship the item. With that being said, the seller provided a full refund for the item and still promptly sent the item. I believe shipping issue was probably an oversight because of the holidays and the seller did his best to make things right. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again.Reply from: craigis-0- Feedback replied to by seller craigis-0.- Feedback replied to by seller craigis-0.Thank you for your patience.

- 8***k (3747)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseYou will not find a more crude, pathetic seller on eBay than Turn the Page. He bails out of poor service with refunds, then salvages positive feedback. Big deal. I sent 4 messages over two weeks, asking if his book was ex-library as was in his description. He finally spit out a snotty reply. Dumb me, I bought the book anyway and waited 3 weeks. I got no book, no explanation, just a refund. He probably never mailed it out of spite. READ his feedback and you'll see how he treats everyone.Reply from: craigis-0- Feedback replied to by seller craigis-0.- Feedback replied to by seller craigis-0.You received a refund. That was the point. You were never going to be satisfied so I just saved further hassle for everyone.
