Burnside
Marvel. Until now, Ambrose Burnside has been remembered mostly for his
distinctive side-whiskers and as an incompetent leader who threw away
thousands of lives in the bloody battle of
Fredericksburg. This biography
focuses on the Civil War years and reveals a more capable Burnside.
Although his performance included an occasional lapse, this book argues
that he deserved far better treatment than he has received from his peers
and, subsequently, from historians. 552 pgs., 6"x 9", hdbd. |
