Part of the author's ongoing study of the use of fortifications during the American Civil War, Hess notes that these works almost emerged spontaneously, a response to Grant's emphasis on continuous contact and action to gain strategic and moral superiority over the Confederate forces. While it's arguable that Grant could not sustain the attrition he was inflicting on his own field force, this was probably the price that had to be paid to regain the strategic mastery that Lee had won and maintained in the eastern theater of the war to that point. What I'm not sure this book works as is a synopsis of Grant's Overland Campaign; you're still better off taking a deep breath and diving into Rhea's epic series for that.

Earl J.Hess's study of armies and fortifications turns to the 1864 Overland Campaign to cover battles from the Wilderness to Cold Harbor. Drawing on meticulous research in primary sources and careful examination of battlefields at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Bermuda Hundred, and Cold Harbor, , Hess analyzes Union and Confederate movements and tactics and the new way Grant and Lee employed entrenchments in an evolving style of battle. Hess argues that Grant's relentless and pressing attacks kept the armies always within striking distance, compelling soldiers to dig in for protection.
