Summary: Not worth it
Comment: Don't waste your money. This poorly written account of an insignificant affair is replete with inaccuracies (it's Citronelle, not Citronville) and difficult to read due to the author's repetitive writing style. The author's main assertion, that this battle was somehow significant, holds as little water as the Laguna Madre. This unfortunate affair, which did nothing more than add a few more figures to the butcher's bill for the war, precipitated no great events and resolved nothing, coming six weeks after the surrender at Appomattox. The author's rampant pro-Confederatism buries any pretensions of an unbiased account and makes the work even more distasteful. Perhaps the only significance of this affair was to give partial rise to the "myth of the lost cause," evidenced by the creation and publication of such a biased account two centuries later.
