In the brutal battle fought east of Atlanta on July 22, 1864, the Army of the Tennessee once again demonstrated it was one of the truly great fighting forces in American military history. In this marvelously detailed study of that battle, Earl J. Hess makes yet another valuable contribution to scholarship on the struggle for Atlanta, the commanders who shaped its course, and Civil War military history in general. In addition to providing plenty to satisfy enthusiasts of traditional 'drums and trumpets' military history, Hess also offers intriguing discussions of such topics as battlefield commemoration and how both sides dealt with the wounded. Highly recommended. --Ethan S. Rafuse, editor of Corps Commanders in Blue: Union Major Generals in the Civil War and Guide to the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign Earl Hess's July 22 immerses the reader in this crucial conflict at a level of detail never before achieved in any study of the battle. A tour de force of research and analysis, Hess's work represents a massive step forward in our knowledge of this long neglected but vital episode of the war. --Steven Woodworth, author of Nothing but Victory: The Army of the Tennessee, 1861-1865
