Summary: Good Overview Of Mobile Campaign
Comment: Mobile 1865 is probably the best book on the Mobile campaign but leaves something to be desired. A glaring omission is the maps. No Civil War history should be without helpful maps to visualize the text, but there is only three period drawings of the defences-not very helpful. The author also goes into a little too much detail on each unit's prior history and their commanders. This causes the book to not really become interesting until the real action starts after about 100 pages. It was also a little irritating that the author uses the common, politically correct view of black troops. In the chapter he devotes to black units his account of their actions are misleading and too generous. Still, there is little literature on the Mobile campaign and this book details the actions and the campaign as a whole fairly well. It's probbly the best book on the subject but the definitive history of the campaign is yet to be written.
