Summary:	"In the spring of 1862, George McClellan and his massive army were slowly making their way up the Virginia Peninsula. Their goal: capture the Confederate capital and end the rebellion. This book follows the armies on their trek up the peninsula as the stakes grew enormous, surprises awaited, and the soldiers themselves had only two possible destinations in mind"--
