"The War for the Union: The Organized War (1863-1864)" and "The Organized War to Victory (1864-1865)" complete the award-winning magnum opus "Ordeal of the Union." In this volume Allan Nevins concludes his definitive history of the American Civil War. There is the bloody grinding-down of Confederate resolve, as the Union Army burns Atlanta, Sherman marches to the sea, Lee fails at Gettysburg, and the slow death grip between two great armies in the Battle of the Wilderness winds down in to Appomottox. As these events take center stage, Nevins never forgets the importance of the economic build-up of the North, and the ways that exigencies of war served to create a new concept and new techniques of organization. The work closes with the assasination of Lincoln, the succession of Johnson, and the demobilization of the armies. Returning to the pursuits of peace, America is at once faced with new problems, and a new optimism. "Ordeal of the Union" is one of the most important historical works ever written, and is now available for the first time (complete and unabridged) in paperback in four handsome volumes.

When Colonel Charles S. Wainwright (1826–1907), later a brevet brigadier general, was commissioned in the First New York Artillery Regiment of the Army of the Potomac in October 1861, he began a journal. As an officer who fought at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg, and who witnessed the leadership of Generals McClellan, Hooker, Burnside, Meade, Grant, and Sheridan, he brilliantly describes his experiences, views, and emotions. But Wainwright's entries go beyond military matters to include his political and social observations. Skillfully edited by Allan Nevins, historian and author of the classic multivolume Ordeal of the Union, this journal is Wainwright's vivid and invaluable gift to posterity.

War for the Union: The Organized War to Victory 1864-65 is the 4th of 4 volumes on the Civil War by Allan Nevins, with each volume covering one year of the war. These works do not concentrate on the military campaigns and individual battles of the war but rather all of the support activities that allowed the Union to win the war, to include politics, commerce (industrial capacity, agriculture, transportation assets, etc.) foreign relations, popular support, and overall strategy for victory. Battles and campaigns and the overall progress of the war are certainly mentioned as victories and losses on the battlefield were in essence the ultimate measure of success. This volume, like the other 3, is a magnificent and readable look at all aspects of the 4 year civil war. Highly recommended for even those with a modest interest in that era of United States history. ( Amazon customer)
