Synopsis
Since its publication, Richard Moe's 'The Last Full Measure' has garnered a reputation as one of a handful of classic regimental histories of the Civil War and the definitive history of the First Minnesota Regiment. Moe's chronicle of the First Minnesota has received wide acclaim from reviewers and historians alike. As James MacGregor Burns notes in his foreword to the book, 'Like Tolstoy's 'War and Peace,' this work sticks close to the men in battle, and hence, like Tolstoy, the author keeps close to the human size of war.' Ken Burns, co-producer of the acclaimed PBS documentary 'The Civil War' notes that 'Richard Moe, in this wonderfully told regimental history, manages to rescue that which Civil War studies so often neglects: the people.'

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Since its publication, Richard Moe's The Last Full Measure has garnered a reputation as the definitive history of the First Minnesota Regiment and one of a handful of classic regimental histories of the Civil War.The First Minnesota Volunteers, the first regiment offered to President Lincoln after the fall of Fort Sumter, served in virtually every major battle fought in the eastern theater during the first three years of the Civil War. This is the story of the Army of the Potomac during that period: the initial enthusiasm dashed by sudden defeat at Bull Run; the pride at being shaped into an army by George McClellan and the frustration with his--and his successors'--inability to defeat Robert E. Lee; and, finally, the costly battle of Gettysburg, the decisive battle in which the First Minnesota played a crucial, and tragic, role. Drawing on a wide array of letters, diaries, and personal reminiscences, Moe tells the story anew through the experiences of the men who lived it. As James MacGregor Burns notes in his foreword, Like Tolstoy's War and Peace, this work sticks close to the men in battle, and hence, like Tolstoy, the author keeps close to the human size of war.Praise for The Last Full MeasureRichard Moe, in this wonderfully told regimental history, manages to rescue that which Civil War studies so often neglects: the people.--Ken Burns, co-producer of The Civil WarExceptional . . . a vigorous, haunting celebration of the Men.--The New York Times Book ReviewRegimental history at its best.--Publishers WeeklyHighly recommended. . . .
