Shenandoah 1862: Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign is a 2008 book written by Peter Cozzens and published by the University of North Carolina Press.

Shenandoah 1862: Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign was written by Peter Cozzens, an experienced military history writer, and published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2008.

[7] The author also criticizes Jackson's leadership for excessive secrecy and a tendency to deploy his units in piecemeal fashion,[3] although Union errors are also mentioned.

While he also noted that the book's battle narratives could be confusing at times, Sheppard praised Shenandoah 1862 for challenging myths about the campaign and approaching it from a balanced perspective.

As an example, Ecelbarger identified an instance where Cozzens criticized an officer for breaking the military principal of not reinforcing failure, when that action led to victory.

[8] In a review for On Point, a publication of the Army Historical Foundation, Steven Greaf praised Shenandoah 1862 for its objective approach, and noted Cozzens's attention to the strategy and tactics of the campaign, as well as the detail given to the terrain of the theater of operations, describing the book as an "enjoyable read".

[13] Valerie L. Hudson reviewed the work for the Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and noted the variety of conclusions Cozzens drew about the Union leadership of the campaign: noting that Nathaniel P. Banks showed some talent, that some of the factors affecting John C. Frémont were outside of his control, and portraying James Shields as inept, all the while criticizing elements of Jackson's leadership.

[14] While stating that the book was well-researched, reviewer James I. Robertson of the journal Louisiana History questioned some of the works' conclusions, in particular those related to Jackson.
