Bøger af Joseph Howard Parks

Offers the first critical biography of the Confederate general who commanded the largest theatre of the Civil War, the Trans-Mississippi Department, and who held the same important command post longer than any other officer on either side.

Offers the first full-scale biography of a man of meager education and limited political experience who worked his way from the North Georgia mountains to the positions of governor and US senator. Drawing on previously unavailable documents, Parks captures the mood of Georgia as well as the personality of this astute and controversial politician.
