Jordan, J. P. Pryor, Thomas Jordan, Albert E. Castel (Introduction)

That Devil Forrest : Life of General
Nathan Bedford Forrest
by John
Allan Wyeth
| This book, written by a Civil
War veteran, gives great insight into one of the most interesting military
commanders ever. It should appeal to anyone with an interest in the effects
a strong personality can have on history. Forrest's ability to quickly
assess a difficult situation and act efficiently and dramatically is astounding.
Also of great interest is the extremely difficult circumstances endured
by soldiers and civilians alike during this terrible period. While the
book is written by a Southerner, the author's perspective is one of a diligent
historian and deals frankly with the controversies that
surrounded General Forrest. Anyone who reads this book should find their time extremely well spent. |
