Return to Bull Run Summary

Return to Bull Run: The Campaign and Battle of Second Manassas by John J. Hennessy

This comprehensively researched, well-written book represents the definitive account of Robert E. Lee's triumph over Union leader John Pope in the summer of 1862. . . . Lee's strategic skills, and the capabilities of his principal subordinates James Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson, brought the Confederates onto the field of Second Manassas at the right places and times against a Union army that knew how to fight, but not yet how to win.-Publishers Weekly

Return to Bull Run Reviews

The deepest, most comprehensive, and most definitive work on this Civil War campaign, by the unchallenged authority. - James I. Robertson Jr., author of Stonewall Jackson

This thorough, elegant study eclipses all other accounts of the Second Battle of Manassas. It not only recounts what happened in this battle and why, but also places it in the larger context of a war that was changing radically in character during that fateful summer of 1862. Anyone who wishes to understand the first Confederate decision to invade the north must read this book. - James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom
