Award-winning historian Earl J. Hess is author of many books on Civil War history, including Braxton Bragg: The Most Hated Man of the Confederacy.
Logical and easily readable . . . Civil War students or enthusiasts
will appreciate.--On Point, the Journal of Army History
Stands as a thoroughgoing analysis of the battle on July 20, 1864,
and serves as an important addition to the historiography of the
Atlanta campaign and the western theater during the American Civil
War.--The Journal of Southern History
Hess's description of the battle is solid and immensely detailed,
down to the regimental level. He has mined seemingly every
available primary source. Readers also will appreciate his wise
nuance in matters that often elicit only blanket
generalizations.--The Journal of American History
For Civil War readers, students of the Atlanta campaign, and fans
of Earl J. Hess, this is a must-read.--The Journal of America's
Military Past
Hess carefully evaluates all the factors that separated victory
from defeat.--Civil War Times
Should be regarded as the new standard history of John Bell Hood's
first battle as defender of Atlanta.--Civil War Books and
Authors
An exquisitely detailed case study of one of the Confederacy's
worst military disasters. Highly recommended for Civil War and
military historians, subject enthusiasts, and all
libraries.--Library Journal starred review
