Loading... The Decisive Battles of the U. S. A. (edition 1942)by J. F. C. Fuller (Author)Early chapters of weighted towards British interpretation of American Revolution and War of 1812. More strategy than baseline tactical, til Mexican War. The chapter of Mexican campaign is fabulous, ending in the storming of Churubusco by US forces. Seven Days chapter is confusing and not cohesive, though he does not hesitate to find fault with commanders. He is very critical of RE Lee throughout, basically saying he was a weak garrison commander who could neither train nor feed his army.Other Civil War battles were good, as was San Juan Hill. Overall good for context and strategic info. A bit dry reading at times |
