Description
General Braxton Bragg is often described as a despicable, friendless man, the most hated general of the Confederacy. Historians have denigrated Bragg by accepting the accusations of prominent, disgruntled subordinates, each of whom sought to explain their failures by assigning them to Bragg. This biography notes the sources of those characterizations and offers a complete view of the controversial general, from his early successes to the circumstances of his failed later campaigns at Murfreesboro and Chattanooga.
