Destroying conventional historical wisdom, acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander reveals how the South most definitely could have defeated the North-and how close a Confederate victory came to happening. Alexander shows: •How the Confederacy had its greatest chance to win the war just three months into the fighting-but blew it• How the Confederacy’s three most important leaders- President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson– clashed over how to fight the war• How the Confederate army devised–but never fully exploited–a way to negate the Union’s huge advantages in manpower and weaponry• How Abraham Lincoln and other Northern leaders understood the Union’s vulnerability better than the Confederacy’s leaders didHow the South Could Have Won the Civil War provides a startling account of how a relatively small number of tactical and strategic mistakes cost the South the war and changed the course of history. | How The South Could Have Won The Civil War by Bevin Alexander, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
