Combining brilliant military analysis with narrative history of enormous power, Landscape Turned Red is the definitive work on this climactic and bitter struggle.

"No other book so vividly depicts that battle, the campaign that preceded it, and the dramatic political events that followed." — The Washington Post Book World
"Authoritative and graceful . . . a first-rate work of history." — Newsweek
