Review
"Rowena Reed's Combined Operations in the Civil War not only continues to be the most thorough and competent examination of its topic but one of the most provocative and penetrating studies of Civil War strategy and tactics in general and the generalship of George McClellan in particular."-John D. Milligan "To be carefully read and thought upon, not only for Civil War history but for the broader field of overall military and naval history."--"Civil War Times Illustrated" "A rapidly moving account which embraces new insight into the Civil War. . . . [Reed] possesses that rare ability . . . to present a scholarly study, replete with facts and conclusions, in a thoroughly interesting manner."--"The Retired Officer" "A splendid account of the Union combined operations during the Civil War, a book sorely needed. . . . [Reed] stresses the planning of Army-Navy operations, their relation to Federal objectives, the effect of technological change, and the political factors influencing the employment of combined operations."--"Military Affairs" "Rowena Reed's "Combined Operations in the Civil War" not only continues to be the most thorough and competent examination of its topic but one of the most provocative and penetrating studies of Civil War strategy and tactics in general and the generalship of George McClellan in particular."--John D. Milligan--John D. Milligan
