  • "Shrouds of Glory focuses on Confederate General John Bell Hood's decisive actions in the western theater of operations during the final moments of the Civil War. The rich narrative takes us on a journey through the ravaged South to the once vibrant city of Nashville, where General Hood makes a last, futile attempt to preserve the Confederacy."
  • "Young Confederate General John Bell Hood takes center stage in this thrilling narrative, as he leads his army through the ravaged South to the once-vibrant city of Nashville, where they make a last, futile attempt to turn the tide of the war. Courageous but reckless, General Hood was an unlikely man to lead this western campaign: he graduated forty-fourth out of a class of fifty-two at West Point, and nearly died from teh amputation of a shattered leg. Armed with unorthodox strategy, Hood engages his nemeses - Union generals Sherman, Schofield and Thomas - in a tense cat-and-mouse chase through Georgia and Tennessee... and into the horrors of the heroic charge at Franklin, Tennessee, where they marched into legend."
