Failure to Pursue: How the Escape of Defeated Forces Prolonged the Civil War
David Frey
Was the US Civil War preordained to last four years or were there reasons why neither side could land a knockout punch? Taking a fresh look at the zero-sum tactics that characterized many major combat actions in the war, this book examines the performance of unsuccessful (sometimes insubordinate) commanders and credits two generals with eventually seeing the need for organized pursuit.
