- W2056515719 abstract "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 chose to spell it out: the failure of the confederacy lay with the Confederate President Jefferson Davis. This book presents examinations of the men who led the South through the nation's bloodiest conflict, focusing in particular on 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. One chapter 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? If there was, it was a tenuous harmony at best. Another chapter explores how Beauregard and Davis worked through a deep and mutual loathing, while another chapter makes contrasting evaluations of the competence of Generals Braxton Bragg and John Bell Hood. Taking a different angle on Davis's ill-fated commanders, one chapter probes the private side of war through the roles of the generalsʼ wives, and another investigates public perceptions of the confederate leadership through printed images created by artists of the day. The final chapter ties the individual chapters together and offers a new perspective on Confederate strategy as a whole." @default.
