Grant and George Gordon Meade, against Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. In spite of having outmaneuvered Lee,after three days of battle in which the Confederates at Petersburg were severely outnumbered, Union forces failed to take the city, and their final, futile attack on the fourth day only added to already staggering casualties. By holding Petersburg against great odds, the Confederacy arguably won its last great strategic victory of the Civil War.In The Battle of Petersburg, June 15-18, 1864, Sean Michael Chick takes an in-depth look at an important battle often overlooked by historians and offers anew perspective on why the Army of the Potomac's leadership, from Grant down to his corps commanders, could not win a battle in which they held colossal advantages. He also discusses the battle's wider context, including politics, memory, and battlefield preservation. Highlights include the role played by African American soldiers on the first day and a detailed retelling of the famed attack of the First Maine Heavy Artillery, which lost more men than any other Civil War regiment in a single battle. In addition, the book has a fresh and nuanced interpretation of the generalships of Grant, Meade, Lee, P. G. T. Beauregard, and William Farrar Smith during this critical battle. 610 $aVirginia 610 $aHistory 676 $a973.7/37 700 $aChick$b Sean Michael$f1982-$01518903 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795653603321 996 $aThe Battle of Petersburg, June 15-18, 1864$93756719 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03724nam 22006735 450 001 9910338021603321 005 20240724133004.0 010 $a9783319643557 010 $a331964355X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-64355-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000005249370 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-64355-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5471155 035 $a(PPN)259455768 035 $a(Perlego)3491384 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000005249370 100 $a20180719d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChina and the Middle East $eVenturing into the Maelstrom /$fby James M.

To protect its economic and security interests, China is increasingly forced to compromise its long-held foreign policy and defense principles, which include insistence on non-interference in the domestic affairs of others, refusal to envision a foreign military presence, and focus on the development of mutually beneficial economic and commercial relations. The volume shows that China's need to redefine requirements for the safeguarding of its national interests positioned the country as a regional player in competitive cooperation with the United States and the dominant external actor in the region. The project would be ideal for scholarly audiences interested in Regional Politics, China, South Asia, the Middle East, and economic and security studies. James M. Dorsey is Senior Fellow at the S.
