Laney Prize

The Austin Civil War Round Table of Austin, Texas, has awarded its 2007 Laney Prize to A Wilson Greene for Civil War Petersburg: Confederate City in the Crucible of War (University of Virginia Press, 2006). The Laney Prize is given for "distinguished scholarship and writing on the military or political history of the American Civil War," according to the group.

I am writing a review of the book for the journal Civil War History and will have a great deal to say about it once I’ve completed it.
