A Revolution in Arms - A History of the First repeating Rifles
|
|
Author: Joseph G. Bilby
Published: 2006
Pages: 270

Therefore, "A Revolution in Arms" is a genuinely original contribution to the military history of the Civil War, exploring areas previously unknown and subject only to speculation. Mr. Bilby wisely does not claim too much importance for the firearms at the center of his book; he does not claim that they were a decisive factor in achieving Union victory, although he concludes that they probably shortened the effort.
