From the Back Cover
When John Bell Hood entered into the services of the Confederate Army, he was 29 years old, a handsome man and courageous soldier, loyal to the ideal of Confederate Independence and eager to fight for it. He led his men bravely into the battles of Second Manassas, Gaines's Mill, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, only to fall faster. Hood emerged from the war with his left arm shattered and useless, his right leg missing, his face aged beyond 33 years, and with his military reputation in disgrace.
