Description

John Bell Hood brought a hang-dog look and a hard-fighting spirit to the Army of Tennessee. Once one of the ablest division commanders in the Army of Northern Virginia; he found himself; by the spring of 1864; in the war’s Western Theater. Recently recovered from grievous wounds sustained at Chickamauga; he suddenly found himself thrust into command of the Confederacy’s ill-starred army even as Federals pounded on the door of the Deep South’s greatest untouched city; Atlanta.His predecessor; Gen. Joseph E. Johnston; had failed to stop the advance of armies under Federal commander William T. Sherman; who had pushed and maneuvered his way from Chattanooga; Tennessee; right to Atlanta’s very doorstep. Johnston had been able to do little to stop him.The crisis could not have been more acute.Hood; an aggressive risk-taker; threw his men into the fray with unprecedented vigor. Sherman welcomed it.“We’ll give them all the fighting they want;” Sherman said.He proved a man of his word.In All the Fighting They Want; Georgia native Steve Davis; the world’s foremost authority on the Atlanta campaign; tells the tale of the last great struggle for the city. His Southern sensibility and his knowledge of the battle; accumulated over a lifetime of living on the ground; make this an indispensable addition to the acclaimed Emerging Civil War Series.
