Description: Draws a balanced picture of Bragg and of his important role in the Confederacy beginning in 1863
Review Quotes: "It is well-written, judicious, and based on sound and wide-ranging research. Wisely, she has not written a polemic in excuse, nor does she allege competencies beyond Bragg's scope. Rather, she acknowledges his inadequacies, agrees with most poor assessments, and yet portrays his flawed character sympathetically--a real achievement!"
