In comparison with the Army of Northern Virginia; Confederate forces in the West saw limited success. Still; there were outstanding generals whose accomplishments have received minimal attention; particularly the infantry commander Pat Cleburne. Invisible Hero: Patrick R. Cleburne presents a level of detail that is unsurpassed in the study of this significant figure; focusing on the military and political aspects of his service while avoiding the social or personal sidelights found in a general biography. Battles and movements are explained in an objective light; exposing his triumphs as well as his failures; his assets as well as his shortcomings. Accounts and letters from soldiers in the ranks present a picture of the general in the field as seen by his own men. The result has been an analysis of a man unappreciated by his own government; yet widely regarded as the finest infantry officer in the Western Theatre.
