Author Burke Davis does an exhaustive documentary of Stuart and his life (particularly in the first half of the Civil War) up to his premature death. The book paints Stuart almost completely in a positive light, and is only lacking in missing some of the not-so-complimentary choices in his life I have read about in other biographies. Jeb Stuart was a suitable enough character to deserve this interesting biography. Well written and entertaining. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Here is a full and definitive biography of the dashing and enigmatic Confederate hero of the Civil War, General J.E.B. Stuart.This life-size portrait of Stuart surveys his life from childhood through his training at West Point, his years on the Western frontier, and his decision to stand with Virginia when war arrived. His brilliant Civil War career is covered in detail, from the raid on Chambersburg through to his final, fatal clash at Yellow Tavern. "The rudimentary field communications of the Civil War demanded of the cavalry the utmost in bravery, durability, and vigilance", writes Burke Davis in his introduction to this edition. "Victory or defeat of armies was often in the hands of their cavalrymen". No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
