The Military Campaign For Mobile 1864 1865

"Operational Art and the Campaigns for Mobile, 1864-1865: A Staff Ride Handbook is part of an extensive portfolio of Army University Press and Combat Studies Institute publications to educate soldiers and others on military history as well as Army and Joint doctrine. This handbook uses a systematic approach to analyze two independent, but interrelated, Civil War campaigns--from organization and tactics to commanders and their higher strategic and operational goals. The Campaign for Mobile Bay (1864) and the subsequent Campaign for Mobile (1865) dramatically illustrate the synergy between land and naval forces and how outstanding operational leadership can overcome the absence of overarching doctrinal principals"--Provided by publisher.
