As New. octavo. dust jacket xvi + 665pp., b/w plates, maps, notes, bibliog., index, ÔFollowing a skirmish on June 28, 1864, a truce is called so the North can remove their dead and wounded.

May I never hit you Johnny if we fight again, comes the reply. The reprieve is short. A couple of months, dozens of battles, and more than 30,000 casualties later, the North takes AtlantaÕ
