This pioneering study focuses on the experiences and writings of the surprisingly large number of Prussian, British, and French military observers who witnessed the Civil War firsthand. Luvaas's fascinating account reveals why they came, what they wrote, what their armies learned (or failed to learn) from their reports, and how their writings influenced later European military theorists.
For this edition, Luvaas has added a thoughtful introduction that analyzes why some "military lessons" are learned and others ignored and examines the extent to which such lessons can be applied to subsequent conflicts.

'This book remains far and away the best investigation and analysis of the impact of the American Civil War on European military thought and military history.' - Russell F. Weigley, author of The American Way of War: A History of U. S. Military Strategy and Policy

Librería: Monroe Street Books, Middlebury, VT, Estados Unidos de America
Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Reprint. 383 pages, hardcover. Dust jacket, covers, and interior pages are all clean and bright. Binding is solid. As a war correspondent, Wilbur Fisk was an amateur, yet his letters to the Montpelier Green Mountain Freeman comprise one of the finest collections of Civil War letters in existence. He was a rural school teacher from Vermont, primarily self-educated, who enlisted in the Union Army simply because he believed he would regret it later if he didn't. Unlike professional war correspondents, Private Fisk had no access to rank or headquarters. Instead, he wrote of life as a private-as one of the foot soldiers who slept in the mud and obeyed orders no matter how incomprehensible. Clean copy. Nº de ref. del artículo: 34205
