Pengarang: Theodore Ayrault Dodge

Dodge fought in the Union Army in some of the Civil War”s fiercest and costliest engagements, until he lost his right leg at Gettysburg. These experiences provided him with insights on the realities of warfare that are sometimes lacking in the work of purely academic or “armchair” military historians.
