Description: THIS BOOK IS BEST DESCRIBED BY THIS REVIEW. "John Bell Hood was one of few Confederate generals who held important commands in both Virginia and the Confederate West. Given command of the defense of Atlanta, Hood fought to hold the city but failed. He later led the army in the unsuccessful Tennessee Campaign, where he was unable to cut off Schofield's Union army at Spring Hill, was bloodily repulsed the next day at Franklin, and routed two weeks later at Nashville. Historians and writers since then have denied Hood his day in court, thus shaping a very negative opinion of the general. But Sam Hood's scholarship in John Bell Hood has shown that contemporary views of Hood were often much different from the perpetuated stereotypes. His study demonstrates anew the complexity of history and the importance of impartiality by those who write it." -, The Civil War historical community can only benefit from Sam Hood's Dedication and perseverance in presenting a full...review and strong defense of JBH's life and service. Readers will certainly understand the general better..., "The time is right for Sam Hood's book. Another way of looking at it is, my, what we have learned since the Civil War's Centennial fifty years ago." -BOOK IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. SEE PHOTOS.
