Sumario:The American Civil War is famous for epic battles involving massive armies outfitted in blue and gray uniforms, details that characterize conventional warfare. ###A Savage Conflict# is the first work to treat guerrilla warfare as critical to understanding the course and outcome of the Civil War.
