McDonough, James Lee. CHATTANOOGA - A DEATH GRIP ON THE CONFEDERACY.
University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, 1984.
298 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0870494252 B&w photographs, reproductions, maps/battle plans. "In the wake of the bloodshed at Chickamauga, the struggle for Chattanooga became a decisive engagement of the Civil War. McDonough reconstructs the siege and battles as they appeared to both Rebels and Yankees, giving the reader a front-row seat at one of the major dramas in American history. The tale culminates in the complex bid for Missionary Ridge, which ended w ith the collapse of the Confederate line at its center. Reversing their situation in one final, dramatic hour, Union forces emerged victorious. The Rebels forfeited the advantage offered by the triumph of Chickamauga and now found the tables t u r n e d. With Chattanooga in their grasp, the Federals stood in a position to carry the fight deep into the South. The river and railroads both made the city important as a natural passageway that provided the Union with a staging base for milit ar y op er ations. The Rebels, on the other hand, found their railway communications crippled. The Confederacy had earlier been split along the Mississippi River; now it was to be severed by a second line that passed from Nashville to Atlanta via Cha tt ano oga ."

McDonough, James Lee and Connelly, Thomas L. FIVE TRAGIC HOURS: THE BATTLE OF FRANKLIN.
University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, 1983.
215 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0870493965 B&w photographs, maps. "On a November afternoon in 1864, the weary Gen. John Bell Hood surveyed the army waiting to attack the Federals at Franklin, Tennessee. He gave the signal almost at dusk, and the Confederates rushed forward to utter devastation. This book describes the events and causes of the five-hour battle in gripping detail, particularly focusing on the reasons for such slaughter at a time when the outcom e of the war had already been decided. The genesis of the senseless tragedy, according to (the authors), lay in the appointment of Hood to command the Army of Tennessee. It was his decision to throw a total force of some 20,000 men into an ill - a d v ised frontal assault against the Union troops. The Confederates made their approach, without substantial artillery support, on a level of some two miles. Why did Hood select such a catastrophic strategy? The authors analyze his reasoning in f ul l. Their vivid and moving narrative, with statements from eyewitnesses to the battle, make compelling reading for all Civil War buffs and historians." Very minor edge wear. Dust jacket has minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and fla p-f old s. Ne ar Fine/Near Fine
