P.G.T. Beauregard - The Little Creole in the Civil War (Paperback)

P.G.T. Beauregard commanded the defenses at the start of the Civil War at Fort Sumter and was a major player in decisive events throughout the war. Three months after Fort Sumter, he was the victor at the First Battle of Bull Run. He commanded armies in the Western Theater and returned to Charleston and defended it from repeated naval and land attacks in 1863. His greatest achievement was saving the important industrial city of Petersburg, Virginia and the Confederate capital of Richmond from assaults by overwhelmingly superior Union Army. However, his influence over Confederate strategy was marred by his poor professional relationships with President Jefferson Davis and other senior generals and officials. This must-have book for Civil War enthusiasts recounts Beauregard's life, revisiting the vast impact he had on American history.
