The Campaign and Battle of Second Manassas, by John J. Hennessy, Simon & Schuster 1993, Covers the entire campaign from Cedar Mountain to Chantilly. Anyone wishing to understand Operational Maneuver as an art form, this is the place to start. Illustrated, Full of well done maps, Appendix contains a complete order of battle Highly recommended.

I just finished Steven W. Sears' "Gettysburg".........Quite possibly the best book of the at least a dozen I've read on those Three Days in July, 1863......But Mr. Sears is an awesome author. BTW- PSYCHED about this new site. Can't wait to see it develop and flower into a place of discussion, analysis, and learning.
Aloha,

Well Duane, get the Sears book up as a separate thread under other books of interest and try to generally follow the same format, including things that you particularly like about the book something like what I mentioned about the order of battle in the Hennessy book I mentioned. Don't hide your library under a bushel basket. I you liked it chances are someone else will too. Have at it brother. My intention is to add one new book a day, that I think people would find relevant. Aloha?  Are you out diving in Hawaii, or do you just wish you were. If not take two aspirin and wash them down with a Pina Colada and you will feel fine in the morning. |

Will do. Have tomorrow off. Been busy as a one armed paper-hanger the last few weeks. July is INSANE in Key West. Will sit down manana, have a civilized breakfast and then go to work. The "aloha" thing is habit, spent 10 years teaching scuba in Kona, Lahaina, and then I ran the SCUBA shack at the Hale Koa Hotel there at Ft. DeRussy for a few years. Sometimes I miss Hawaii.....It's too bad they messed it up.
Have a great evening,
Duane
