Abstract
Railroads in the Civil War consists of two quite different parts: a detailed description of the rail movements of Confederate and Union forces from Virginia to Tennessee in the autumn of 1863, and an extended essay arguing that the Confederacy might have won the Civil War with better management of its railroads and the war effort as a whole. The result is an ambitious, highly readable book, but Clark's conclusion that "With moderately competent management of its war effort, the Confederacy might very well have succeeded" is more an interesting conjecture but ultimately not a persuasive thesis (233).
