Summary

Triumph & Defeat: The Vicksburg Campaign offers ten fascinating chapters on the complex and decisive struggle to capture the city of Vicksburg and sever the Confederacy in two. Author Terry Winschel, Vicksburg National Military Park's chief historian, weaves a lifetime of personal and professional experience and scholarship into this remarkable study. His chapters cover every major aspect of what many consider to have been the decisive military achievement of the war - the capture of "The Gibraltar of the Confederacy." Triumph & Defeat is the finest single-volume treatment of the campaign. Book jacket.
