X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>For most students of the Civil War\, the o
 nly factor they can recall of the May 31\, 1862\, Battle of Seven Pines/Fa
 ir Oaks\, is that the battle resulted in Confederate General Robert E. Lee
  rising into command of Confederate armies in the east. What many fail to 
 realize is just how close the Confederacy came to complete victory and how
  the battle became a near disaster for Union General George B. McClellan. 
 Be it a disaster avoided or a lost opportunity\, the fact remains the Batt
 le of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks remains one of the most mis-understood battles
  of the American Civil War.</p>\n<p><strong>About the Presenter:</strong> 
 Author/historian Victor Vignola&rsquo\;s lively presentation explores the 
 topic in detail. His first book <em>Contrasts in Command: The Battle of Fa
 ir Oaks &ndash\; May 31 &ndash\; June 1\, 1862</em>\, has received high pr
 aise. So stunning is the success of <em>Contrasts in Command</em>\, it has
  earned recognition as receiving the coveted 2023 Fletcher Pratt Award. In
  addition\, the American Battlefield Trust also recognized <em>Contrasts</
 em> as a Finalist for the 2023 Best Military History Book\, while Civil Wa
 r Books and Authors\, an independent review journal of Civil War historiog
 raphy\, included <em>Contrasts</em> in their list of Top 10 Books for 2023
 .&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Author Vignola&rsquo\;s research while developing <em>Contr
 asts</em> directly led to preserving a twelve-acre parcel of hallowed grou
 nd where the Fair Oaks fighting occurred. That parcel remains the only pre
 served ground for the entire Seven Pines/Fair Oaks battlefield. His work c
 ontinues as he is completing a book on the Battle of Seven Pines.</p>\n<p>
