À propos de cet audio


In this episode of War Between Brothers, we dive into the Peninsula Campaign—Union General George B. McClellan’s grand plan to end the Civil War swiftly by capturing Richmond. Launched in the spring of 1862, this ambitious operation saw the massive Army of the Potomac sail to Virginia’s York-James Peninsula, aiming to outflank the Confederates and strike a decisive blow. But what unfolded was a campaign plagued by hesitation, inflated enemy estimates, and missed opportunities. We explore how McClellan’s caution, combined with clever Confederate deception and fierce resistance, turned a promising strategy into a frustrating and costly failure. This is the story of how one of the North’s greatest chances to win the war early slipped through its fingers.
