rdf:langString The Collapse of Price's Raid: The Beginning of the End in Civil War Missouri is a 2016 book by and is the second volume in his series about Price's Raid (a campaign during the American Civil War), after Price's Lost Campaign: The 1864 Invasion of Missouri. The book, which is sourced to the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion and contemporary newspaper accounts, as well as to some secondary sources, takes up the story of Price's Raid in early October, after the goal of the campaign shifted, from being a full-scale invasion, to being a raid. Reviewers noted that the book provided a detailed record of the troops’ movements in the campaign, and also described the political and racial aspects underlying reactions to the raid. The work was criticized for its lack of maps, including one reviewer’s assertion that many readers would be forced to use an atlas in following the narrative. It likewise was criticized for lacking a separate bibliography, and for its reading’s potential difficulty; still, the same reviewers also described the book as "well documented", and as useful to "serious students of the Civil War".
