The Last Hurrah is a military history of longest, and largest, cavalry operation of the Civil War. The book’s narrative perspective covers both Union and Confederate forces and ultimately shows that the conduct of operations could not be detached from the brutality of the guerrilla war that preceded Price’s entrance into the state. Atrocities and depredations would be just as much a part of the campaign, and its aftermath, as would be its major battles.
