Advance and Retreat: Personal Experiences in the United States and Confederate States Armies (Illustrated)

*Includes over 30 pictures of Hood and other famous leaders and generals on both sides of the Civil War
*Includes Table of Contents

John Bell Hood was one of the most tenacious generals in the Confederacy, for better and worse. This quality, which made him one of the best brigade and division commanders in the Army of Northern Virginia also made him ineffective as he was promoted to higher commands, forever marring his career at Atlanta and Franklin.

Hood did not live long after the war, dying of yellow fever in 1879, but he managed to write an account of his service in the Civil War. Given Hood’s position in Longstreet’s Corps and his experience in some of the Civil War’s most famous battles, Advance and Retreat is an insightful account given by a man uniquely distinguished to provide it.
