From the first successful balloon ascension in 1783 to the latest explorations in space, this compact history recalls the challenging years that brought mastery of the air to men and supremacy in war and peace to our nation. Never has the stirring saga of the history of flight been told in more compelling terms. Conceived after a century and a half of experiment, born a stepchild of the Army, the Air Force came into its own when it proved that national strength — and national survival—were dependent on aerospace power.

The Army of the Potomac's defeat by General Lee. A classic reference. General Stackpole's The Fredericksburg Campaign is a solid work that serves as a good departure point for further study of the campaign. Since there is no other campaign history of Fredericksburg written in the 20th century (there is in fact only one other, written in 1882) which makes Stackpole's book invaluable in and of itself. The major historians, Catton, Foote, and McPherson do not devote more than a few chapters to the subject. While Catton devotes portion of a book, but it is unsatisfactory as a campaign history. Gary Gallagher has recently edited a book of essays of various elements of the battle but again, it is not a campaign history.
