Sommario/riassunto

In the late summer of 1864, Confederate General Sterling Price led a last ditch attempt to liberate Missouri from Union occupation and brutal guerrilla warfare. Price's invading army was like few others seen during the Civil War. This is the story of his invasion from its politically charged planning to its starving retreat.
