Yorktown's Civil War Siege: Drums Along the Warwick… por John V. Quarstein

Note that the first half of the 156 pages of text (with many photos and illustrations interspersed within the text) is a summary of action on the Peninsula from the beginning of the war, prior to the siege. God background, but this is not a micro history of the siege but rather an overview. The deepest detail is on the April 16 action at Dam No. 1.

I’m not one of those “maps are no good” reviewers, but in this case, they truly are inadequate. The only modern maps are two schematic diagrams of the Dam No 1 skirmish. There are numerous contemporary maps, all of them nearly illegible and useless for following the text. I would expect at least one detailed map of the fortifications in a book about a siege.

It can be used in an in depth study of the Peninsula Campaign, but the material is no more than you will get from any number of books that cover the ironclads and the campaign in general.… (más)
