SavasBeatie releases

The new SavasBeatie publishing house is orienting more on the Civil War this fall with three out of four fall releases addressing ACW topics.

Slated for release are Eric Wittenberg's The Battle of Monroe's Crossroads and the Civil War's Final Campaign; John Coski's Capital Navy: The Men, Ships, and Operations of the James River Squadron; and Timothy Smith's Champion Hill: Decisive Battle for Vicksburg.

I wish they would focus on the ACW entirely. One editorially strong house with good sales could turn the industry around. Why not strive for that?
