[David Barney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another good book about a Civil War general. This book gives good perspective about John Bell Hood. Interesting man.

[Scott · Rating 3 out of 5]

The love story was fascinating. The war strategies were good but really centered around the strategies of other generals and not so much Hood's.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a biography of Confederate General John Bell Hood, especially his role in the American Civil War. It also discusses his personality, tactics, and leadership style.
