Here, a team of the nation's most distinguished Civil War historians present a fascinating examinations of the men who led the Confederacy through our nation's bloodiest conflict, focusing in particular on Jefferson Davis's relationships with five key generals who held independent commands. Craig Symonds examines the underlying implications of a withering trust between Joseph E. Johnston and his friend Jefferson Davis. Emory Thomas considers the tenuous harmony between Davis and Robert E. Lee. Michael Parrish explores how P.G.T. 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. In a final chapter, Pulitzer Prize-winner James M. McPherson ties the individual essays together and offers a new perspective on Confederate strategy as a whole.
