Born in New Orleans, Herman Hattaway grew up in the Deep South.
While it might not seem such a stretch for him to have become one
of the foremost authorities on the Civil War and Southern history,
Hattaway was actually at a loss for a career choice when he
stumbled into the class of Professor T. Harry Williams at Louisiana
State University. Williams's lectures and writings were so
inspiring to Hattaway that he became a regular in his classes,
receiving his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. all under the professor's
tutelage.
This collection of essays is a compendium of Hattaway's writings
from throughout his more-than-forty-year career. He is the author
or coauthor of five books that were selections of the History Book
Club--"Jefferson Davis: Confederate President; Shades of Blue and
Gray: An Introductory Military History of the Civil War"; "Why the
South Lost the Civil War; How the North Won: A Military History of
the Civil War; "and "General Stephen D. Lee." He is also the author
of the text for "Gettysburg to Vicksburg: The Five Original Civil
War Battlefield Parks."
Hattaway is a captivating historian who always seeks to engage
others in the study of history. He has made many important
scholarly contributions to our understanding of the Civil War,
including new information on the military use of balloons, the
relevance of religion in warfare, and the nature of good (and bad)
military leadership. This book will appeal to the many historians
and others who have been influenced by Hattaway over the years. It
demonstrates how he has evolved as a historian and brings to light
many essays that were never before published or published only in
specialized journals.
