About the Book

For readers of Civil War histories, e.g. James McPherson's Hallowed Ground and Crossroads of Freedom, Jay Winik's April 1865, H. W. Crocker III's Robert E. Lee on Leadership, and Ernest B. Furgurson's Not War but Murder; for readers of Alexander's How Hitler Could Have Won World War II and How Wars Are Won, and other military histories. 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 did How 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.

About the Author :
BEVIN ALEXANDER is the author of nine books of military history, including How Hitler Could Have Won World War II, How Wars Are Won, How America Got It Right, and Lost Victories.

Review :
"Alexander argues persuasively that the wartime policies of President Jefferson Davis and the military strategy of General Robert E. Lee led to the failure of the Confederacy. . . . Thought-provoking and informative." —Washington Post
