Published in 1926, 'Campaigns of the Civil War' by Walter Geer is a classic military history that provides a comprehensive tactical and strategic overview of the American Civil War. Geer, an American historian known for his detailed biographies of Napoleon, applied the same level of analytical rigor to the major engagements of the 1860s. Unlike modern histories that often focus on social or political causes, Geer's work is a 'no-frills' military study focused on the mechanics of the war itself—how battles were fought, why they were won, and how the terrain influenced the outcome. - Summary by Celine Major
