Coming Soon (January '25 Edition)

Scheduled for JAN 2025¹:
• More Important Than Good Generals: Junior Officers in the Army of the Tennessee by Jonathan Engel.
• A Grand Opening Squandered: The Battle for Petersburg, June 6-18, 1864 by Sean Michael Chick.
• Decisions of the Red River Campaign: The Fifteen Critical Decisions That Defined the Operation by Michael Lang.
• Somewhere Toward Freedom: Sherman's March and the Story of America's Largest Emancipation by Bennett Parten.

• The First Confederate Soldier: George Washington Lee and Civil War Atlanta by Robert Scott Davis
• Trouble, Trials, and Vexations: The Journal and Correspondence of Rachel Perry Moores, Texas Plantation Mistress ed. by Thomas Cutrer.

Comments: The Engel book listed at the top is out already. Looks like it might be a good companion to recent works such as Andrew Bledsoe's Citizen-Officers and Zachary Fry's A Republic in the Ranks. For a preview of the Parten book, see my Booknotes entry for it here.

¹ - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They do not include reprints that are not significantly revised/expanded, special editions not distributed to reviewers, children's books, and digital-only titles. Works that only tangentially address the war years are also generally excluded. Inevitably, one or more titles on this list will get a rescheduled release (and they do not get repeated later), so revisiting the past few "Coming Soon" posts is the best way to pick up stragglers.
