		Piedmont was the key engagement in Union General David Hunter's thrust into the Upper Shenandoah Valley in early 1864.
		The battle had its own share of controversies as well, but the author does not shy away in the least from addressing each one with convincing arguments supported by abundant and creditable sources.
		Many time-honored assumptions about Confederate leadership at the battle are clearly rectified, and the engagement itself is shown for the first time to be what it was--one of the nastiest small encounters of the war in that region.
