Description

Combining meticulous research with a unique perspective, Seven Days Before Richmond examines the 1862 Peninsula Campaign of Union General George McClellan and the profound effects it had on the lives of McClellan and Confederate General Robert E. Lee, as well as its lasting impact on the war itself. Rudolph Schroeder's twenty-five year military career and combat experience bring added depth to his analysis of the Peninsula Campaign, offering new insight and revelation to the subject of Civil War battle history. Schroeder analyzes this crucial campaign from its genesis to its lasting consequences on both sides. Featuring a detailed bibliography and a glossary of terms, this work contains the most complete Order of Battle of the Peninsula Campaign ever compiled, and it also includes the identification of commanders down to the regiment level. In addition, this groundbreaking volume includes several highly-detailed maps that trace the Peninsula Campaign and recreate this pivotal moment in the Civil War. Impeccably detailed and masterfully told, Seven Days Before Richmond is an essential addition to Civil War scholarship. Schroeder artfully enables us to glimpse the innermost thoughts and motivations of the combatants and makes history truly come alive.

Dr. Jay Schroeder meticulously researched his subject, and this book is an admirable, as well as readable, portrait of a campaign often skipped through by others. He was much kinder to General McClellan than most authors I've read, but in the end McClellan's limitations are obvious. Dr. Schroeder does not gloss over inadequacies of generals who led the insurrectionists and are all but canonized in the myth of the 'Lost Cause.' I've never before been able to get a handle on the Peninsula Campaign, and this book cleared up many questions. Very detailed, the prose could have been entirely snooze inducing. However, Dr. Schroeder managed to move the action right along with his masterful word treatments. My only complaint concerns Kindle. The maps are poorly displayed and impossible to read. I would hope Amazon might make some improvement in that area. I overcame Kindle's inadequacies with maps downloaded from Wikipedia. I love having maps to follow the action.I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone who has ever wondered what went wrong, for both sides, in the Peninsula Campaign.
