Robert M. Dunkerly’s "To the Bitter End" examines the chaotic, non-linear conclusion of the American Civil War, arguing that the conflict ended through piecemeal surrenders following Appomattox, rather than a single event. The work highlights major surrenders, including Bennett Place and others in Alabama and the Trans-Mississippi, detailing the chaotic, months-long dissolution of the Confederacy.
