The Campaign of Chancellorsville edition by Theodore A Dodge Literature Fiction eBooks
I found this book very detailed about the movements of a small part of the Union Army in a key battle of the civil war. It is a daily diary of one young Lt trying to find his role in the complicated world of a large army. If you want an extremely detailed description of army life as seem from a minor player, this is the book for you.Product details

The Campaign of Chancellorsville edition by Theodore A Dodge Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The author basically takes 200 pages to justly criticize Hooker and the rest of the Union command without really added much to the strategic or tactical discussion of the battle though he does put a great emphasis on the importance of the terrain that the battle was fought over. As another reviewer mentioned the appendix is full interesting post war letters by the participants.
My greatgrandfather lost his leg the morning after "Stonewall" Jackson was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville and within a few hundred yards of the site. Therefore, over the years, I have read everything I could find on the battle, including Bigelow's classic account and the more recent accounts by Furgurson and Sears. Theodore A. Dodge (1842-1909) describes what it was like to be surprised and routed by Jackson's troops at the end of the historic "Flank March" and how his Eleventh Corps of the Union Army participated in the fierce and costly fight. Although it was first published in 1881, we can thank Da Capo for reprinting Dodge's book with an Introduction by Stephen Sears. The correspondence between Hooker, Lee and Lincoln that is printed at the end of the book furnishes insight into the aftermath of a horrendous battle. Recommended.
