Product Information
Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard once wrote that "no people ever warred for independence with more relative advantages than the Confederates". If there was any doubt as to what Beauregard sought to imply, he later to chose to spelt it out: the failure of the Confederacy lay with the Confederate president Jefferson Davis. In Jefferson Davis's Generals, a team of the nation's most distinguished Civil War historians present fascinating examinations of Jefferson Davis's relationships with five key generals who held independent commands: Joseph E. Johnston, Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, and John Bell Hood. Craig Symonds examines the underlying implications of a withering trust between Johnston and his friend Jefferson Davis. And was there really harmony between Davis and Robert E. Lee? A tenuous harmony at best, according to Emory Thomas. Michael Parrish explores how Beauregard and Davis worked through a deep and mutual loathing, while Steven E. Woodworth and Herman Hattaway make contrasting evaluations of the competence of GeneraLs Braxton Bragg and John Bell Hood. Taking a different angle on Davis's ill-fated commanders, Lesley Gordon probes the private side of war through the roles of the generals' wives, and Harold Holzer investigates public perceptions of the Confederate Leadership through printed images created by artists of the day. Pulitzer Prize-winner James M. McPherson's final chapter ties the individual essays together and offers a new perspective on Confederate strategy as a whole. Jefferson Davis's Generals provides stimulating new insights into one of the most vociferously debated topics in Civil War history.

"A fascinating and often surprising portrait of the high command of the Confederate Army as it fought for the independence of the fledgling Southern nation...an excellent, important, and in many respects groundbreaking book which should be read by anyone interested in the Civil War."--EricBrock, Shreveport Journal-Times, "There's enough provoking controversy in these pages to fuel an entirewinter's debate."--William W. Starr, The State, Columbia, South Carolina, "A worthy addition to Civil War historiography.... Recommended for publicand academic libraries."--Library Journal, "The controversy over the generals appointed by Jefferson Davis, theirabilities, their relations with him, and their impact on Confederate fortunes,began in 1861 as soon as the first battle was done, and the war of words hascontinued unabated ever since. In Jefferson Davis' Generals, eight of our mostdistinguished Civil War historians, under the baton editor Gabor S. Boritt,carry the debate to a new definition, in the process offering trenchantobservations on the war, generalship, and the nature of executive leadership.Especially useful, the contributors take into account the political imperatives,so often otherwise ignored--that inevitably drive the army in a civil democracy.Jefferson Davis' Generals will not close the debate, surely, but it will markone of the high points in a discussion that will likely have no end."--WilliamC.
