Nelson, a Biography

Front Cover
Dial Press/J. Wade, 1978 - Biography & Autobiography - 538 pages
"Mackey's book demonstrates that the failure of the shadow war can be traced both to poor Confederate command, which allowed irregulars to prey on their own neighbors, and to effective Union countermeasures. As a result, by 1865, the Confederacy had collapsed on both conventional and unconventional fields of conflict."--Jacket.
