“an important addition...this book has a WOW! + rating”—<i>The Lone Star Book</i>; “the work presents a discussion of social, political and economic circumstances as well as a detailed war narrative of the movement of troops and decisions of generals”—<i>SciTech Book News</i>; “a book that combines vivid battle scenes with insightful consideration of the political balance of the Civil War’s decisive year. It is a book for both the Civil War buff, and the student of American history.”—Charles Bracelen Flood, author of <i>1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History</i>.

By spring 1864, the administration of President Abraham Lincoln was in serious trouble, with mounting debt, low morale and eroding political support. Confederate troops, led by Lieutenant General Jubal Anderson Early, marched down the Shenandoah Valley and crossed the Potomac as Washington, D.C., and Maryland lay nearly undefended. This Civil War history explores what could have been a decisive Confederate victory and the reasons the invasion stalled.
