Abstract

The article reviews "July 22: The Civil War Battle of Atlanta" by Earl Hess, highlighting its significance in the study of the Atlanta Campaign during the Civil War. The book provides a detailed account of the movements of the United States and Confederate armies on July 22, 1864, supported by numerous maps and a wealth of primary and secondary sources. While the review acknowledges Hess's thorough narrative, it also points out discrepancies in his interpretations regarding the involvement of certain brigades and the circumstances surrounding the deaths of key generals. Overall, the work is described as thought-provoking and a valuable contribution to the understanding of the battle and its historical context. [Extracted from the article]
