And keep moving on : the Virginia campaign, May-June 1864
"And Keep Moving On is the first book to see the Virginia campaign of spring 1864 as Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee saw it: a single, massive operation stretching hundreds of miles. The story of the campaign is also the story of the demise of two great armies. Lee's army lost a third of its senior leadership, about 33,000 of its best troops, and most of its offensive capability. Of Grant's army, 55,000 Federals were killed, wounded, or captured in the forty days of the campaign. The scale of casualties and human suffering that the campaign inflicted makes it unique in U.S. history."
