Operating in the vast and varied trans-Appalachian west, the Army of Tennessee was crucially important to the military fate of the Confederacy. But under the principal leadership of generals such as Braxton Bragg, Joseph E. Johnston, and John Bell Hood, it won few major battles, and many regard its inability to halt steady Union advances into the Confederate heartland as a matter of failed leadership. Here, esteemed military historian Larry J. Daniel offers a far richer interpretation. Surpassing previous work that has focused on questions of command structure and the force's fate on the fields of battle, Daniel provides the clearest view to date of the army's inner workings, from top-level command and unit cohesion to the varied experiences of common soldiers and their connections to the home front. Drawing from his mastery of the relevant sources, Daniel's book is a thought-provoking reassessment of an army's fate, with important implications for Civil War history and military history writ large.

Excellent thematic overview of the Army of Tenn.

I learned more about the Why And how the north won the war. And I learned more about the Y and how the south lost the war.
The book was absolutely intriguing.
This is one of the best books I’ve ever read about the inner workings of the Civil War.

When are these people going to learn that trying to perform rather than simply telling the story detracts rather than adds to the experience?
And mispronunciations, venal sins in the case of place names (Trousdale and Maury Counties in TN, Versailles, KY), mortal in the case of the surname of the great Patrick Cleburne. Unbelievable.

The audio version is well read, though.
The book that fails to explain the failure of the Army of Tennessee

The enemy also has a lot to do with results. It was hard to tell if a general was bad or the enemy good. Beyond the battlefield, the author seems to have a poor opinion of what he calls the “cabal” against Bragg. There is a lot of detail about individuals and the various relationships but the top-level connections were largely missing. When is a meeting of generals to oust the general in charge of an army that has constantly lost a plot of intrigue as opposed to a necessary action if victory is desired? When is poor performance due to circumstances or incompetence?
In the end, much of the information contained in the book was new to me and interesting. It gives a good feel for surviving in an army of the time. It is not a substitute for a good overview of the war or even the campaigns but it augments that information.
It is worth the time
