Sommario/riassunto |
|
Often called Lee's greatest triumph, the battle of Chancellorsville decimated the Union Eleventh Corps, composed of large numbers of German-speaking volunteers. Drawing on German-language newspapers, soldiers' letters, memoirs and regimental records, Christian Keller reconstructs the battle and its aftermath. |
