Including articles by such distinguished historians as Grady McWhiney, Charles P. Roland, T. Harry Williams, Frank E. Vandiver, Archer Jones, and Edwin C. Bearss, many of these pieces have only appeared in academic journals, and most have long been out of print. In resurrecting them, this volume introduces a new generation of readers to some of the mid-twentieth century's most significant Civil War scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of a new series, The Western Theater in the Civil War, this volume reflects the premise that truly understanding the outcome of the war can only be gained through greater knowledge of the western campaigns and the generals who waged them. The essays gathered here--such as Roland's reassessment of Albert Sidney Johnston, Williams's examination of P. G. T. Beauregard's role at Shiloh, Bearss's look at Bedford Forrest's great tactical victory at Brice's Cross Roads, and Vandiver's analysis of John Bell Hood's use of logistics--are admirable contributions to this goal. Significantly, in addition to highlighting the Western Theater's best-known generals, this volume also includes essays on two of its less familiar ones, Patton Anderson and Daniel C. Govan, thus rescuing these fascinating figures from undeserved oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuture volumes of \u003ci\u003eConfederate Generals in the Western Theater\u003c\/i\u003e will showcase the latest scholarship with new essays written expressly for the series. By gathering classic earlier work between one set of covers, this opening foray sets a high standard indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Lee Hewitt,Arthur W.
