During the spring of 1864; when the Union efforts to the win were geared from Tennessee to Georgia and along the Eastern Board and in Virginia; one lone campaign was conducted against these directions. It was an attempt to invade Texas by traversing Louisiana from New Orleans to Shreveport and from Little Rock; Arkansas to Shreveport. On paper; the plan seemed unstoppable. It consisted of over 42;500 soldiers and sailors and at least 108 warships. The confederates could mount no more than 12;500 men in opposition. Incredibly; this effort ended in utter defeat for the Union and saved Texas and the bulk of Louisiana and southwestern Arkansas from further raves to the end of the war. This book describes what went right and terribly wrong for both sides. It also describes the aftermath of the operation and why it is so important to the region’s history.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. YF-23 Flight ManualBy Rosie MillsThis was amazingly in depth and informative. It takes the reader into the cockpit of this once secret aircraft. the picture; graphs and charts are clear and easy to understand.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. If you are YF-23 nut; go ahead.By Gregory OmelchenkoIf you think that book is full of graphics; depicting then-classified details of this great aircraft; think twice before buying. It's not so.If you are YF-23 nut; go ahead.Well; book has detalied description of YF-23 cockpit; that includes cockpit instrumental panel and HUD layout; and would be great help for modeller.Looking for YF-23 weapons bay description (touchy subject; and still few know how Northrop's 'revolutionary' 'advanced' rocket launcher looks like); you will find foggy description; making even more questions than answers.OK; as I said before; if you are nutty of this grey beauty; don't ever think. It's a rare opportunity to know some previously unknown things of fighter they didn't want.
