Trampling Union Terror: Riders of the Second Alabama Cavalry

"Addicott has done it again!'Fighting Union Terrorism in the American Civil War - Exploits of the 2nd Alabama Cavalry Regiment is the much anticipated companion book to his 2023 eye-opening Union Terror. While Union Terror demolished all the wrongheaded arguments proffered by apologists for the Lincoln Administration's use of terrorism against Southern civilians, this work explores the life and times of a body of hard-riding Alabamians that fought more Federal terror raids than any other cavalry regiment in the Confederacy."Not only does Addicott paint a vivid behind the scenes look at their heroic struggles, he continues throughout to hammer home the illegal and vicious actions of Federal commanders."Fighting Union Terrorism features dozens of illustrations and battle maps, giving the reader a multi-dimensional sense of what it was like to be a cavalryman on the fighting ground in that terrible time.
A must read for all serious students of history."- Major General Alfred A. Valenzuela (U. S. Army, Ret.)
