Summary:

"The Tullahoma Campaign took place in Middle Tennessee between Union General Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland and Confederate General Bragg's Army of Tennessee. Rosecrans's objective was to force the Confederate Army to vacate Middle Tennessee and threaten Chattanooga. Through a series of maneuvers, rather than battles, he achieved his goal; however, Union victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg would overshadow his success. Decisions of the Tullahoma Campaign will be the ninth book to appear in the press's Command decisions in America's Civil War series. Books appearing in this series are geared for a general audience and offer a general introduction to the battles and campaigns of the Civil War through the lens of Union and Confederate commanders. Typical of past books in the series, the project is replete with photos and maps and includes a driving tour of the decisions to encourage visitation to National Battlefield Parks."-- Provided by publisher.
