Donald Phillips’s Reviews > The Civil War: A Narrative > Status Update

I'm well into the third volume. I was so frustrated by how the Army of the Potomac once again failed to exploit a Confederate vulnerability so as to bring the rebellion to an end. Grant's fuck up at Cold Harbor was also sobering. Neither the upper-level Rebel or Federal military leadership had seemingly learned a thing after three years of blundering and bloodshed.

So I'm giving this a rest.

I'm giving this set a break. All that blundering and bloodshed is sobering.

I'm currently reading the second volume.
