Fair/fair. 323 pages, illus., maps, ftnotes, index, fr bd weak, sm tear in 2nd fr flylf, DJ scuffed: sm tears, sm pcs missing, inscribed by editor. Professor Jay Luvaas was one of the most versatile military historians of the second half of the Twentieth Century. He was not only a noted Civil War historian, but also an expert on the wars of Frederick the Great and Napoleon. His first monograph addressed the European legacy of the American Civil War. This work is one he was especially proud of, based upon a conversation we had years ago, because he felt he had made accessible some of the seminal writings of one of the finest British military historians of the Victorian era. Without this modern edition of some of Henderson's writings, particularly his study of the Battle of Fredericksburg, he would be known, if at all, for his monumental biography of Stonewall Jackson. Professor Luvaas moved from Allegheny College to the U.S. Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, PA. Signed or inscribed copies of his works are increasingly scarce.
