Combee: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom During the Civil War
by Edda L. Fields-Black
🏆 Joint winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for History
The extraordinary story of the Combahee River Raid, a Civil War-era mission behind Confederate lines led by the freedom fighter Harriet Tubman, during which two regiments of Black US Army soldiers torched eight rice plantations and liberated 730 slaves. Written by a descendant of one of the participants and drawing from previously unexamined documents, this account offers remarkable insight into the only female-led military operation in the American Civil War.
