[Joseph · Rating 3 out of 5]

Outspoken,controversial General Jubal A. Early during the war and unreconstructed and argumentative after the war. Interesting character!

A well-written and insightful biography of this cold yet warm military brute and the creator of the Lost Chaos mythos. Essential reading for all Civil War historians and Southerners.
