Synopsis:

Here is the exciting story of the Army of the Potomac, of the people in it, and of the nation it defended. Of enlistees, volunteers and bounty men alike, who fought like fiends during each engagement but swapped coffee and tobacco with the Rebels between skirmishes. And of three generals in command during this crucial period: Burnside, "who meant so well and did so badly"; Hooker, a soldier's soldier who improved rations but was surprised into a disastrous defeat; and Meade, who took over only three days before the decisive battle of Gettysburg.

Full of human detail which bring history to vivid life.
