The Last Citadel: Petersburg, Virginia, June 1864-April 1865

The Last Citadel is the only full-length treatment of the most extensive military operation of the Civil-War the siege of Petersburg, Virginia, which by its bloody end had added more than seventy thousand casualties to the war's total. Because it lay astride five major railroad lines that supplied Richmond, the Confederate capital, Petersburg was key to the war effort in the East.Noah Andre Trudeau is the author of 'The Last Citadel: Petersburg, Virginia, June 1864-April 1865' with ISBN 9780807118610 and ISBN 0807118613.
