New York: Crown Publishers, Inc., 1994. This Stated First Edition (and unless it's stated, it's not) is in New, unread condition, with a New, unclipped dust jacket. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. The author fully understands that war history isn't a composite of dull facts and figures. In this fascinating work, the Civil War comes alive through the detailed lives of two soldiers, one in blue and one in gray, with more in common than either would have guessed. The book is bound in pebbled wheat-colored boards with a brown spine cloth and die-stamped gilt spine titles. The book measures 6 3/8 by 9 1/2 inches and includes 436 pages, with Index. . First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Readers of the bestselling novel, "The Killer Angels," or viewers of Ted Turner's movie "Gettysburg" and PBS's "The Civil War" have become familiar with Chamberlain and Alexander, two men who made their mark on history. This dual biography of the two officers-one Union and one Confederate-describes a number of Civil War battles, from Bull Run to Appomattox. The climax of each man's career, just as in the war itself, however, came at Gettysburg, where Chamberlain held Little Round Top and Alexander, commanding Lee's artillery, desperately tried to pave the way for Pickett's charge. Fast-paced, full of the feel and texture of battle, this book is also very much a personal story of the two men. Maine's Chamberlain was a 19th-century archetype: a romantic fighting the first of the world's modern wars while straining to interpret the carnage through the idiom of the knightly joust. Alexander, of the Georgia planter class, viewed war with a clear, cold eye, casting a long glance forward to our own more technical century. Their lives subsequent to the war are emblematic of the American society that emerged from the cathartic conflict between North and South. The original hardcover was published without illustrations or maps. These have been added for the new paperback edition.

Crown Publishers, New York, 1994. first edition, hard bound in dj, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, Fine/Fine condition, xi, 436 pages, notes, bibliog., index.--------------------------------Freelance journalist Golay's dual biography of two Civil War colonels, one Union, the other Confederate, dramatizes the differing styles of command of the opposing armies at middle-rank level. Chamberlain (1828-1914) was a gifted recruit who led the 20th Maine regiment and dreamed of personal glory; Alexander (1835-1910), a West Pointer from Georgia, was a practical professional who commanded the artillery in General Robert E. Lee's First Corps. Golay describes how each performed in battle, their actions directly affecting the outcome at Gettysburg (Chamberlain) and Fredericksburg (Alexander). Both enjoyed success in their postwar lives, Chamberlain as governor of Maine, Alexander as a railroad executive; but neither found his work as fulfilling as commanding men in battle. Golay's account of their visits to their former battlefields and their involvement in veterans' affairs offers an unusual perspective on the Civil War. In his analysis of their memoirs (both had "something of a genius for fighting and the later remembering of it"), Golay compares Chamberlain's saccharine Victorian sensibilities with Alexander's pragmatic repudiation of Lost Cause sentimentality.
