John Bell Hood and the War for Southern Independence
John Bell Hood, a native of Kentucky bred on romantic notions of the Old South and determined to model himself on Robert E Lee, had a tragic military career, no less interesting for being calamitous. This book aims to do justice to one of the most maligned and misunderstood figures in Civil War history.
