And Keep Moving On

And Keep Moving On offers a comprehensive look at the Virginia campaign of spring 1864 from the perspectives of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, depicting it as a vast and pivotal military operation. The book not only details the fighting and its human toll but also explores the political climate of the 1864 presidential election, the motivations of soldiers, and the strategic impact of sea power. By examining major battles, subsidiary offensives, and broader interconnections, Mark Grimsley's study provides a nuanced analysis of this critical chapter in U.S. history.
