Back Door to Richmond is the first book-length study of the Bermuda Hundred Campaign. It draws upon hundreds of sources, including more than sixty unpublished accounts. The standard interpretation of the campaign held that the Federal effort was an abject failure caused almost entirely by the blundering of Benjamin Butler, an incompetent who allowed his army to be bottled up by a small confederate force.
