Description: Retreat to Victory? by Robert G. Tanner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Did Confederate armies attack too often for their own good? Was the relentless, sometimes costly effort to preserve territory a blunder? Publisher Description Did Confederate armies attack too often for their own good during the Civil War? Was the relentless, sometimes costly effort to preserve territory a blunder? These questions about Confederate strategy have dogged historians since Appomattox. Many have come to believe that the South might have won the Civil War if it had only avoided head-on battles, conducted an aggressive guerrilla campaign, and manoeuvred across wide swaths of territory. This volume offers a consideration of this widely-held theory. Robert G. Tanner argues that deep retreats and battle avoidance were not available to Southern leaders in planning their wartime strategy. The South fought as it did for valid reasons, according to Tanner, and this book examines those reasons in detail. It seeks to offer a fresh perspective on Confederate strategy. Author Biography Robert G. Tanner practices law in Atlanta, Georgia. He has studied and lectured on the Civil War for more than twenty-five years.
