In Victory Without Triumph: The Wilderness May 6th & 7th, 1864, John Priest meticulously details the vicious infantry fighting along the Plank Road, Longstreet's counterstrike against the II Corps, the cavalry operations of both armies near Todd's Tavern, and John B.

Embellished with 38 detailed, two-color maps, Victory Without Triumph enables the reader to follow the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia through the last two days of the campaign which signaled the advent of Ulysses S.

No civil war studies collection can be considered complete without the acquisition of Victory Without Triumph.

A retired high school history teacher, John Michael Priest has been interested in Civil War history since an early age. He is a graduate of Loyola College in Baltimore and Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, and has written extensively about the Civil War.

His many books include Antietam: The Soldiers’ Battle (1989); Before Antietam: The Battle for South Mountain (1992); Nowhere to Run: The Wilderness, May 4th & 5th, 1864 (1995); Victory Without Triumph: The Wilderness, May 6th & 7th, 1864 (1996); and Into the Fight: Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg (1998). Praised by legendary historian Edwin C. Bearss as the “Ernie Pyle” of the Civil War soldier, Priest appeared on the Discovery Channel’s Unsolved History: Pickett’s Charge (2002), and is one of the historical consultants for the forthcoming miniseries To Appomattox.

His newest work, Stand to It and Give Them Hell! chronicles the fighting on July 2, 1863 from Cemetery Ridge to Little Round Top from the perspectives of the soldiers who fought the battle.

The book features my Great Great Grandfather Owen Thomas Wright, so, of course it deserves five stars! Owen has his own website now, so look him up at forfreddomandhumanity.com.

Another great read by Mr. Priest. I like his method of merging different types of battle information to give a good mix of individual perceptions, movements, and terrain. It's very readable and I have a problem putting his books down for a break.
