Lindsay Rae Smith Privette, "The Surgeon's Battle: How Medicine Won the Vicksburg Campaign and Changed the Civil War" (UNC Press, 2025)

A book interview on the medical dimension of the Vicksburg campaign — how Union army medical officers innovated under siege conditions to sustain combat effectiveness across the 200-mile march and 47-day siege. Genuinely interesting intersection of logistics, medicine, and one of the Civil War's most important operations.
