Using modern and period maps and images, the National Army Museum’s historian and educator John Maass presents the story of Hooker’s Chancellorsville campaign, and how its initial, unprecedented success turned into stunning defeat just two months prior to the battle of Gettysburg.
Dr. John Maass received a B.A. in history from Washington and Lee University and a Ph.D. in Early American History from the Ohio State University. He is the author of several books and numerous articles on American military history, including “The Battle of Guilford Courthouse: A Most Desperate Engagement” (2020); “George Washington’s Virginia” (2017); and “The Petersburg and Appomattox Campaigns, 1864-1865” (2015).
