Offers a view from the trenches of the Confederate Army of Tennessee. This book is not the story of the commanders, but rather shows in intimate detail what the war in the western theatre was like for the enlisted men. Larry Daniel argues that the unity of the Army of Tennessee can be understood only by viewing the army from the bottom up rather than the top down.
