It should have had more a better maps. Tucker did a pretty good job of making sense of a very confused and confusing battle, but without detailed maps, it was often hard to follow what was happening where. The device of sticking in biographies and anecdotes was good and kept the book from dragging with nothing more than names of units and men. I got a good feel of the battle, although it was very irritating that the copy I read from the Conway library had 16 blank pages in the chapter about the collapse of the Union lines.
