The Confederacy's last northern offensive

Description:

"Spring 1864, Lincoln's administration was in trouble, with debt, low morale, eroding political support. Confederate troops, led by Lieutenant General Jubal Early, marched down the Shenandoah Valley and crossed the Potomac as Washington, and Maryland lay nearly undefended. This Civil War history explores what could have been a decisive Confederate victory and reasons the invasion stalled"--Provided by publisher.
