American
Civil War Fortifications (1) by Angus Konstam
The 50 years before the
American Civil War saw a boom in the construction of coastal
forts. These stone and brick forts stretched from New England to
the Florida Keys, and as far as the Mississippi River. At the start of
the war some were located in the secessionist states, and many fell into
Confederate hands. Although a handful of key sites remained in
Union hand throughout the war, the remainder had to be won back through
bombardment or assault. This book examines the design,
construction and operational history of those fortifications that played
a crucial part in the course of the Civil War.
Part of the Osprey Fortress Series. Illustrated
paperback with approximately 65 pages.
Order code FS6. Book price £10.99.

Antietam 1862
Antietam was one of the critical battles of
the American Civil War. The fortunes of the South were riding high after
the resounding victory at Second Manassas. While Bragg and Kirby Smith
invaded Kentucky, Lee's invasion of Maryland was intended to maintain the
Southern offensive momentum, to wrest Maryland from the Union and to win
recognition of the European powers. But his bold plan was compromised -
and at the Antietam River the Army of Northern Virginia was fighting for
its very life.

American Civil War
Artillery 1861-1865 (I) Field Artillery by Philip Katcher and Tony Bryan
Perhaps the most influential arm of either army in the prosecution
of the American Civil War, the artillery of both sides grew to be highly
professional organisations, centralising their artillery, organizing
artillery battalions from individual batteries ad giving their commanders
higher ranks than field artillerymen had previously held. In battle, the
introduction of the 12 pounder Napoleon, followed closely by rifled
cannon, provided a range and power previously unknown on American soil.
This book details this vital cog in the war-machine of both sides.

sides who lived and died in glory on the battlefields. He combines an
irresistible sweep with the minutest detail, so that we see the shifting,
overall pattern of each battle and also the odd corners of the
battlefield.
