One of the best books on the final stages of the Confederate Army of the Tennessee. The author's reseach pulls many works from the Union side by using published works of those who faught in the battles. If you want to know about General Hood and his distroying his army at Franklin and Nashville this is to book for you. If you're a fan of John Bell Hood you would be wise to shy away from this book, as Wiley Sword does not have one positive thing to say about the Confederate general's winter war in the wake of the fall of Atlanta. Apart from analyzing the assorted battles in this campaign, where Sword really shines is in portraying the sheer misery of fighting in winter while short of everything; food, clothing, shelter, and hope. Even hardened military buffs will come away snarling at the waste of it all (Feb. 14, 2004). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Wiley Sword’s well-researched account of these historic few days in Tennessee was one of my two text books and guides as I walked the battlefield in the vicinity of my great grandfather’s regiment and brigade. The owner of a small independent book store in downtown Franklin recommended this book, along with the McDonough/Connelly “Five Tragic Hours”, which was an excellent companion to the Sword book. I would highly recommend both of these for anyone interested in a superbly detailed accounting of the senseless tragedy of the Battle of Franklin. ( )
