EXILE'S END.

Livingston, Gary

Sagarin Press

The most in-depth and complete account of the heroic but vain fight of the Georgia troops made up of militia, state line, Athens and Augusta work battalions in their stand against Sherman's hardened veterans on their March to the Sea. In defense of family and homes the 4,000-5,000 Georgia troops under Brig. Gen. Phillips attacked the Union right wing at Griswoldville, Georgia November 22, 1864.  The Georgia troops surged forward seven times against the entrenched Union lines.  Statistics show more casualties than any other fight of the Civil War in proportion to the number of troops engaged.  Weaving eyewitness accounts, journal entries, military communiques, newspaper accounts with his insightful narrative style, Livingston reconstructs the events leading up to that fateful day and the battle in a Georgia corn field.  Livingston paints a vivid portrait and brings to life the intense and disastrous three hour battle.

NEW EXPANDED 2ND EDITION AVAILABLE WITH 20 PAGES OF PHOTOGRAPHS PROVIDED BY CAMP LEJEUNE MARINES! This is both a harrowing and a heroic account of the actions of American military fighting men on the deadliest day the War in Iraq, March 23, 2003. On that day, 18 Marines and 11 Soldiers of the Army's 507th were killed in an attack along "Ambush Alley." The Marines died when their unit the 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, secured two vital bridges in the city of An Nasiriyah that allowed the 1st Marine Division to punch through, unhindered, on their way to Bagdad. If Bagdad was considered the jewel of the war, then An Nasiriyah was the key to the jewel room. 
One account describes five trips up and back through "Ambush Alley" by a group of Marines to rescue fellow stranded Marines in the city. 
The Marines also describe their horror of being attacked by a US Air Force A-10 that killed up to ten of their fellow Marines. 
The fighting around An Nasiriyah flared for weeks before the Iraqis were totally subdued. 
This account of the fighting is the compilation of stories told by the Marines who fought for the bridges.
