Grady McWhiney and Judith Lee Hallock, Braxton Bragg and Confederate Defeat. 1st eds.

Description

Grady McWhiney and Judith Lee Hallock wrote the definitive biography Braxton Bragg and confederate Defeat over the course of twenty years of research and writing.

This controversial general was known during the war as one of the most unfortunate and irascible officers to command armies on either side. Bragg was also courageous, inspiring and one of the finest organizers and trainers of volunteer soldiers in the war. The Confederate Army of Tennessee was Bragg’s creation and their determined fighting against long odds make them among the most fascinating armies of the Civil War.

Bragg and Hallock analyze Bragg’s leadership and decisions throughout the war from Mobile, to Shiloh, to Kentucky, Stones River and Chickamauga.

Both volumes lightly sunned with light shelf wear; else very good.
