Nowhere in the annals of United States military history is there a more tragic, yet valorous, story than that of the Army of Tennessee. Unlike its companion fighting unit, the Army of Northern Virginia which was commanded throughout the Civil War by one of the great military figures of all time, Robert E. Lee, the history of the Army of Tennessee is one of ever-changing commanders, of bickering and wrangling among its leaders, and a discouraging succession of disappointments and might-have-beens.
Stanley F. Horn was born near Nashville, Tennessee, in the midst of the scenes of the activities of the Army of Tennessee. He was the editor of Southern Lumberman Magazine and the author of many books.
Albert Castel (1928–2014), was a Civil War historian and author of Decision in the West: The Atlanta Campaign of 1864.
“Horn’s tale is filled with enough specific facts, dates and places to satisfy the most critical Civil War buff. At the same time, he has immensely increased the readability of the book by close attention to the human side of the War in the West. It is expertly spiced with character sketches and incidents by which the story of the Army of Tennessee comes alive.”—Stars and Stripes
“If this book, with its tantalizing glimpses of great events, could but stir interest in the forgotten focal point of America’s great agony, it will have more than justified its publication.”—Washington Post
