Civil War Goats and Scapegoats, by H. Donald Winkler. Looks at the politicians and generals who failed miserably on the battlefield and at those who were blamed for those failures. In some cases the verdicts of historians have changed over the years, while others are heroes in one battle and goats in another. Winkler employs the latest scholarship to clarify the fault-finding and exoneration of some of the most glaring disasters of the war, and spares no punches in examining all of these issues and the men responsible for bad decisions that cost thousands of lives in battle and ruined the lives of good men falsely accused.
