“The War of the Sixties has probably had more written about it than any war in our history. It is estimated that there have been over 40,000 books written about this great conflict since Appomattox. Even with this tremendous production of written material, there still exists many facets of the war that the researcher has not fully explored or developed. This book concerns itself with such an area—an account of the bickering, quarreling and squabbling that existed in the high commands on both sides.”—Harold B. Simpson, Foreword
