YOURS TO REASON WHY Seymour, William.
St. Martin's Press 1982 New York Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket Illustrated by W. F. N. Watson, Cartologist
Light edgewear to DJ. Boards are clean with touch of wear at tips of corners only (not perfectly squared). Clean interior with solid, straight binding. Great reading / research copy. Over 100 maps and photographs. Book Club Edition B&W Illustrations 12mo 7" - 7½" tall 338 pages The author takes the reader step by step through the situation as it unfolded before one of commanders, presenting information that he would have had at the time. At several critical points there is a "pause" to ask the reader to select one of the options. Immediately after in small print, Seymour explains the decision actually made and briefly discusses the wisdom of the choice. Then the narrative continues to a second critical juncture, and so on. Small tactical maps interspersed in the narrative (there are 76 in all) are quite helpful. The 25 plates containing paintings or photos of commanders, some artwork on the battlefield scenes and a few interesting contemporary cartoons aren't remarkable, but nicely complement the text. There are good orders of battle for each campaign selected and a very well chosen bibliography, arranged to match the respective battles. The selections of battles for the most part are the usual (see Creasy's 1851 classic) "decisive" encounters seen in other battle books: Hastings, Crecy, Agincourt, Cromwell in the Third (English) Civil War, Saratoga, Waterloo, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.
