Product Information

The surrender of Vicksburg, Mississippi, on July 4, 1863, was the decisive victory of the Civil War. Grant's conquest of the river citadel opened the Mississippi to Union commerce and severed the Confederacy, isolating Arkansas, Texas, and part of Louisiana. The Vicksburg Campaign also ignited a social revolution in Mississippi and eastern Louisiana that culminated in the violent overthrow of plantation slavery. More than 100,000 enslaved people either fled their plantations or took them over as white slaveholders escaped the advancing Union troops. Tens of thousands of these self-liberated enslaved people joined Grant's army. The great victory at Vicksburg elevated Grant to command of all Union armies, bringing him east to take on Robert E. Lee. Donald Miller has drawn on original sources to create a richly revealing portrait of Grant in this definitive account of the most significant military campaign of the Civil War. Book jacket.

Reviews
Miller deftly conjures the campaign's uncertainty and drama--the surprises that lay around every bend of the region's forbidding terrain and swampy waterways. At the heart of his story is U.S. Grant, who emerges here as a master of maneuver and improvisation, and a hero made human and real. This is military history at its best., Grant has had his biographers over the years, but in Miller he has finally found a writer who captures him in his completeness as a man and a military leader, overcoming heavy odds and repeated failures to win the decisive campaign of the war., Miller provides important context for the final siege of Vicksburg by explaining why the city was vital to control of the Mississippi. . . . He superbly integrates events in Washington, keeping primary attention on those in the field of battle and emphasizing the role of freedmen in the victory. . . . Highly recommended., A superb account of both military leadership and soldierly warfare. . . . Books like Vicksburg are exactly what Thomas Hardy had in mind when he wrote that 'war makes rattling good history.', Miller has compiled the best single-volume treatment of the Vicksburg Campaign. His riveting narrative is well researched and highly informative. . . . A tour de force., Carefully researched and written with sizzling and persuasive prose, Miller has found the way to write both military and emancipation history in one profound package. Never have headquarters, slave quarters, and the ultimate purpose of the war been so seamlessly and brilliantly demonstrated., This is a magnificent book, certainly one of the very best ever written about the Civil War. It has breadth and depth, and it is written in a way that makes the reader truly understand not only the battle and siege of Vicksburg, not only the Civil War, but war itself., Authoritative, complete, engaging, and enjoyable. . . . Brings to the reader all the rich and crucial history of Ulysses S. Grant's Vicksburg campaign. . . . Vicksburg will become a Civil War standard., [Vicksburg] was the most satisfying Union campaign of the war, and Miller chronicles it with aplomb. An expert, detailed account that should remain the definitive account for quite some time., Miller does an excellent job of illustrating Grant's growth as a commanding general. . . . Well-written and narrative-driven, Donald Miller has provided a book that offers a thoughtful reconceptualization of the Vicksburg Campaign by taking a broad chronological approach and pairing military and political affairs., This superbly written narrative is a portrait of America's greatest soldier, warts and all, an accounting of Grant's moral evolution on the slave question, of his many tactical gambles and errors, as well as his strategic triumph in the decisive campaign of America's most important war. We also meet ordinary soldiers, hear the iron dice roll, smell swamps and river lands that impede key logistics in the far-flung Western theater, feel the summer heat and thickly humid air. Most remarkably, we are guided up and down the Mississippi over the course of the greatest amphibious campaign of the 19th century., Miller has crafted an insightful and striking look at the actions of General Grant at a turning point not only of the Civil War but also of American history. This is a great book and one that Civil war enthusiasts should read.
