This guide examines the entire campaign at Vicksburg, looking at many interlinked battles and joint Army-Navy operations as they played out over seven months and thousands of square miles. In addition, the book also chronicles the battles at Jackson, Port Gibson, Raymond and Big Black Ridge.

"Good historians can write for both the specialist and the general reader, as this excellent addition to the US Army War College's 'Guides to Civil War Battles' shows. It provides itineraries for driving tours of the campaign and of the siege lines and, best of all, it offers a narrative and analyses of the campaign."--Choice
"There is even coverage of the Union and Confederate sides, and a refreshing emphasis on engineering aspects as well. The volume also has good maps and the explanatory sections are clearly and thoughtfully written."--North & South
"These guides are the most thorough, detailed, and accurate books of their kind. Indeed, they are unique. I have used them to lead guided tours of several battlefields, with great success."--James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom: The Era of the Civil War
"I most highly recommend this important and valuable series of guidebooks."--Herman Hattaway, coauthor of How the North Won the Civil War and Why the South Lost the Civil War
"These guides bridge the gap between sound military history and battlefield touring literature. They can be enjoyed without ever leaving the easy chair or they can become indispensable companions on tramps over the scenes of the greatest engagements of the Civil War."--William C. Davis, author of Jefferson Davis: The Man and His Hour and former editor of Civil War Times Illustrated
