Gate of Hell: Campaign for Charleston Harbor, 1863

Stephen R. Wise

4.9/5 (26789 ratings)

Description:Known for sharply affecting the Civil War's outcome, the Charleston campaign of 1863 included the assault on Battery Wagner, so vividly depicted at the culmination of the film "Glory." Stephen R. Wise vividly re-creates the campaign in Gate of Hell, and his retelling of the battle pits not only black against white and North against South but also army against navy. Wise contends that the significance of the campaign extends beyond its outcome, arguing that an understanding of the strategy used at Charleston is vital to understanding the very nature of the Civil War. Lasting almost two months and resulting in thousands of casualties, the campaign began as a joint army-navy operation. Wise continues to follow the campaign through the capture of Battery Wagner and near-demolition of Fort Sumter to its final days, when the Confederates prevented Union forces from entering the port city. Wise describes the campaign as a major testing ground for African-American troops and attributes Lincoln's expansion of African-American recruitment to the admirable performance of the 54th Massachusetts. Wise ultimately concludes that the skill, and in some cases foolish theatrics, of the campaign's leaders determined the course of the campaign.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
