Description:
"This study chronicles the pivotal but overlooked culmination of the Peninsula Campaign--the Battle of Fair Oaks. Robert E. Lee, Jeb Stuart, and Winfield Scott Hancock rose to national prominence for their roles at Fair Oaks, while McClellan saw his reputation ruined. In the end, the legacy of Fair Oaks is one of missed chances and faulty execution"--Provided by publisher.
