This is a thorough, balanced study of James Harrison Wilson's late Civil War cavalry raid on Alabama and Georgia. It is well substantiated and engagingly written. This was an aspect of the Civil War I was particularly curious about, and for which few detailed accounts are available other than in Wilson's own lengthy autobiography. My questions were fully answered, and the story was exciting as well. The author does very well in explaining Wilson's innovations in mass cavalry strategy and tactics, which were later influential on motorized warfare; hence the title.

Yankee Blitzkrieg is the first comprehensive survey of Wilson's Raid, the largest independent mounted expedition of the Civil War. The Confederacy was reeling when Wilson's raiders left their camps along the Tennessee River in March 1865 and rode south. But there was talk of prolonged rebel resistance in the deep South using the agricultural and industrial facilties of a sweep of territory that ran from Macon to Meridian. That area had hardly been touched by the war, and in Columbus, Georgia, and Selma, Alabama, the South had two of its most productive industrial communities.
