New Book from Bradley and Maass -- North Carolina: A Military History

Mark Bradley, one of the deans of North Carolina Civil War history, was kind enough to read through a draft of The Fight for the Old North State and provide his insights and suggestions. A historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History, Bradley's past books include a highly-acclaimed account of the Battle of Bentonville (Last Stand in the Carolinas, Savas), an excellent study on Reconstruction in N.C. (Bluecoats and Tarheels, Univ. Press of Ky.), and a thoughtful look the war's end in the state (This Astounding Close, UNC). 

Now, Bradley, along with USACMH colleague John R. Maass, has completed a sweeping new survey titled North Carolina: A Military History. Published by Westholme, the book is scheduled for a June release. I'm sure it will be a must buy for anyone interested in the history of the Old North State.

From the publisher:
"This fourth volume in Westholme’s State Military History Series, North Carolina: A Military History will provide readers with a comprehensive overview of North Carolina’s long and storied martial past, recounting wars from the colonial period to the present, and relating the heroism and sacrifices of its citizens and soldiers over the past four centuries. The book is illustrated with original maps and numerous photographs and line drawings, and includes recommendations for further reading."
