Operating in the vast and varied trans-Appalachian west, the Army
of Tennessee was crucially important to the military fate of the
Confederacy. But under the principal leadership of generals such as
Braxton Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston, and John Bell Hood, it won few
major battles and many regard its inability to halt steady Union
advances into the Confederate heartland as a matter of failed
leadership. Here, esteemed military historian Larry J. Daniel
offers a far richer interpretation. Surpassing previous work that
has focused on questions of command structure and the force's fate
on the fields of battle, Daniel provides the clearest view to date
of the army's inner workings, from top-level command and unit
cohesion to the varied experiences of common soldiers and their
connections to the home front. Drawing from his mastery of the
relevant sources, Daniel's book is a thought-provoking reassessment
of an army's fate, with important implications for Civil War
history and military history writ large.
