Chancellorsville
1863 : Jackson's Lightning Strike
(Osprey Military Campaign Series, 55)
by Carl Smith, Adam Hook (Illustrator)
One of the most famous battles of the Civil War and still considered
to be Robert E. Lee's greatest victory, Chancellorsville included a cast
of legendary characters: Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Fighting Joe Hooker, Jubal
Early, and George Meade. Jackson, perhaps the greatest commander of the
war on either side, was accidentally killed by his own troops here. Amazon.com

Chancellorsville
1863: The Souls of the Brave (Vintage
Civil War Library)
by Ernest B. Furgurson
Book Description: For 130 years historians and military strategists
have been obsessed by the battle of Chancellorsville. It began with an
audaciously planned stroke by Union general Joe Hooker as he sent his army
across the Rappahannock River and around Robert E. Lee's lines. It ended
with that same army fleeing back in near total disarray -- and Hooker's
reputation in ruins.
This splendid account of Chancellorsville -- the first in more than
35 years -- explains Lee's most brilliant victory even as it places the
battle within the larger canvas of the Civil War. Drawing on a wealth of
first-hand sources, it creates a novelistic chronicle of tactics and characters
while it retraces every thrust and parry of the two armies and the fateful
decisions of their commanders, from Hooker's glaring display of moral weakness
to the inspired risk-taking of Lee and Stonewall Jackson, who was mortally
wounded by friendly fire. At once impassioned and gracefully balanced,
Chancellorsville 1863 is a grand achievement in Civil War history.
