What to expect
A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms
Publisher’s Preface to the Series: The “Special Campaign” Series deals with the history of war in its technical aspect, and the text of each volume is interspersed with strategical and tactical comments … subsequent volumes will deal with those campaigns of the nineteenth century that present features of exceptional military interest. It is hoped that this series will not only be useful for examination purposes but may form the nucleus of an interesting library for military students.
From the Author’s Preface: It must be a primary object with every soldier to know exactly how war is carried on: how strategy is influenced, in its conception by politics and in its execution by tactics; how both strategy and tactics are affected by terrain, by the seasons, by railways, telegraphy, and sea power: how armies have been raised and organized, trained and led in battle; how supplied with weapons and other means of defense, with food and clothing, ammunition and shelter; how the sick and wounded are cared for; how the waste of war is repaired.The study of these matters in peacetime can only be pursued seriously when we illustrate the subject continually with examples drawn from history.

Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. They may neglect portions of society that are more emphasized now. It may be they are somewhat out of favor presently. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. Loving obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread, or unheard. Thank you.
Critics Review
“Major Redway has made a very valuable addition to the Special Campaign Series, and also a more than useful contribution to the history of the American Civil War. For he has evidently given time, pains, and indubitable skill to the study of the mass of material available to the student, and has produced a story self-contained, careful, vivid, as well as specially adapted by its method for the military student.”
