NF Gordon C. Rhea

Gordon Rhea is coming to the Ann Arbor Civil War Round Table this month. I am tentatively planning to attend. Rhea has written several books, so what do you think of his books?

 

[Eric Wittenberg]

They are incredibly good books, and Gordon is a terrific speaker who is an old friend. I've done a number of programs with him over the years, and he's a really good speaker. Go. You won't be disappointed.

 

[Kurt G]

I have read his series on the Overland Campaign three times . I can highly recommend them .

 

[Drew]

Is this even a question?

Rhea is coming to Ann Arbor and you are "tentatively planning?"

The guy is like 90 years old. Get up and go hear him, for crying out loud.

 

[Kurt G]

He's 74 , but I would definitely go !

Not even close to 90 years old. Gordon is about 70, still very vigorous, in good health, and still practicing law full time.

OK thanks, but my point still stands. If he's in the neighborhood, go and listen. I'm sure we can agree on that.

 

[Andy Cardinal]

Very good books. I would definitely love to hear him speak.

Absolutely can agree on that. Gordon's a terrific speaker.

All five on the Overland Campaign are musts. No qualification.

 

[Josh The Lighthouse Guy]

Rhea's Overland Campaign series deserves all the praise and hype it receives.

 

[major bill]

The only book I have by Rhea is Cold Harbor.

 

[Kurt G]

I would recommend adding "The Battle of the Wilderness" , "The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern" , "To the North Anna River" and "On to Petersburg."

 

[Belfoured]

I would recommend adding "The Battle of the Wilderness" , "The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern" , "To the North Anna River" and "On to Petersburg."

Seconded. Id' add that iI think all but the last are in soft cover now, which makes getting them a less expensive proposition.

 

[Josh The Lighthouse Guy]

all but the last are in soft cover now, which makes getting them a less expensive proposition.

I can confirm the first 4 books are in soft cover; I got them new from Amazon for the 150th.

Anyone heard if On To Petersburg will ever come out in softcover?

 

[Kurt G]

No , but Amazon has the hardcover under $30.

Time, date, and location?

 

[jackt62]

An event you definitely do not want to miss. His books on some of the key engagements of the war are highly detailed, informative, and make for great reading.
