Praise for Albert Sidney Johnston**
"A biography of the Kentucky native who might have been mentioned in the same breath as Robert E. Lee had Johnston not died while commanding Confederate troops at the battle of Shiloh in 1862, only a year after the war started."Lexington Herald-Leader
"Johnston's early years, military career, and encounters with Indians, Mormons, and Union soldiers are the focus of this "masterly" study."Civil War Book Review
"The view of army life and the terrible decisions that many southern officers had to make at the beginning will provide an excellent background for further understanding the Civil War."Paper Wars
