Summary
"Historians have denigrated General Braxton Bragg by accepting the accusations of prominent, disgruntled subordinates, who sought to explain their failures by assigning them to Bragg. This biography notes the sources of those characterizations and offers a view of the controversial general, from his early successes to the circumstances of his failed later campaigns at Murfreesboro and Chattanooga"--Provided by publisher.
