General Braxton Bragg, C.S.A.

General Braxton Bragg is often described as a despicable, friendless man, the most hated general of the Confederacy. This biography, without dodging Bragg's deficiencies, refutes much of this false testimony. The result is a balanced view of this controversial general, from his early rise to power in the Western theatre to his subsequent fall from grace in the latter years of the Civil War.
