25 Civil War Generals - The great and the not-so-great.

The list author says:
	"The general who won the war. Opened the Mississppi, at Vicksberg, cleared the way into the deep South at Chattanooga and ground the ANV to powder. Not bad for a heavy drinker."

The list author says:
	"Brilliant "in-theater", but couldn't think continentally. Probably kept the South alive. This is an abridgement of Freeman's magnum opus."

The list author says:
	"Fine military biography by the famous British author. More of a campaigner than a battle-winner, Sherman said war was hell and then proceeded to prove it."

The list author says:
	"America's Cromwell, Jackson was perhaps the war's best tactician. This biography is a classic no civil war library should be without."

The list author says:
	"Not a nice guy, but perhaps the North's best combat leader. Wittenberg thinks him overrated, but I'm not convinced."

The list author says:
	"Excellent old-school bio, untouched by political correctness. Forrest was the war's supreme cavalry commander."

The list author says:
	"Very steady defensively and the only general to destroy an enemy army in battle. Not as famous as he deserves."

The list author says:
	"Unjustifiably trashed by the Lee groupies, "Old Pete" was reliable on both sides of the ball."

The list author says:
	"Perhaps the AOTP's best corps commander. Gettysberg 3 was his day of glory."

The list author says:
	"The Army of Tennessee's best corps commander. Wrote the book on tactics."

The list author says:
	"Military memoir of Lee's legendary cavalry commander."

The list author says:
	"Ok, have to have an admiral. Farragut was outstandingly brave."

The list author says:
	"When he was healthy, nobody wanted to fight this guy."

The list author says:
	"Superb organizer, but always thought he was outnumbered."

The list author says:
	"The war's best gunner."

The list author says:
	"Should have stuck to fighting indians."

The list author says:
	"Out of place as an army commander, his subordinates hated him."

The list author says:
	"Combined a fine strategic sense with an annoying personality."

The list author says:
	"Everybody in the South loved him, except Jeff Davis. Could always find an excuse to retreat."

The list author says:
	"Good campaigner, but slow. Lost his head at Chickamauga and almost his army at Chattanooga."

The list author says:
	"Not competent to command an army, but at least he knew it. Disgraced himself at Fredricksberg."

The list author says:
	"Brilliant, yet flawed. Blew the Union's best chance at Chancellorsville."

The list author says:
	"The only corps commander fired by Lee. Post-war Lost Cause fanatic."

The list author says:
	"Politics kept this clown in the war. Southern women loved him."

The list author says:
	"Proved that being friends with the President will overcome tactical incompetence."
