On To Petersburg by Gordon C. Rhea

[Jim Klag]

This book is Gordon C. Rhea's last volume of his brilliant Overland Campaign series with a comprehensive account of the last twelve days of the campaign, which concluded with the beginning of the siege of Petersburg. In his four previous volumes, The Battle of the Wilderness, The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern, To the North Anna River, and Cold Harbor, Rhea chronicled the bloody duel between R. E. Lee and U. S. Grant from the Wilderness to the James River - between May 5, 1864, and June 15, 1864 .

I want to read this one, having finished all the others back in 2014. I wonder how hard it will be to get back into the campaign mind-set after five years.
