Produktbeschreibung
An introductory military history of the American Civil War,Shades of Blue and Grayplaces the 18611865 conflict within the broad context of evolving warfare. Emphasizing technology and its significant impact, Hattaway includes valuable material on land and sea mines, minesweepers, hand grenades, automatic weapons, the Confederate submarine, and balloons. The evolution of professionalism in the American military serves as an important connective theme throughout. Hattaway extrapolates from works by revisionists William Skelton and Roy Roberts to illustrate convincingly that the development of military professionalism is not entirely a postCivil War phenomenon.
