When the northern press celebrated the ‘great victory’ at Ivy Mountain (8 November 1861), the Cincinnati Gazette observed that it would have ‘no more permanent effect than the passage of a showman’s caravan’. So it proved. Within a few weeks, the Confederates were back in eastern Kentucky, General Humphrey Marshall’s... More

In the previous six months, such operations had seized Pamlico Sound, Elizabeth... More

Key to Union Commander-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant’s Virginia offensive was man-to-man marking of his opposite number, the talismanic Robert E. Lee.

The armies that clashed at Pleasant Hill were exhausted from their engagement the previous day at Mansfield followed by a 15-mile (24-km) march.

Port Republic was the culmination of ‘Stonewall’ Jackson’s diversionary campaign in the Shenandoah Valley.

Having repulsed General Fremont’s forces at Cross Keys, Jackson moved to confront... More

When Franco launched his Aragon offensive in March 1938, the Republicans were exhausted and demoralized by the hugely bloody, but ultimately futile, defence of Teruel during the preceding winter. The Nationalists soon broke through, reaching the Mediterranean and splitting the Republican territories in two. The Republican counterattack overnight on 24–25... More
