Scapegoat General: The Story of General Benjamin Huger, C.S.A.

By Jeffrey L. Rhoades

Benjamin Huger was possibly one of the greatest commanders of heavy weapons in the history of American warfare, he was also the most maligned general in the Confederacy. How did a man of Huger's stature fall so low? Digging into contemporary and primary documents, Rhoades concludes that: Huger was framed. Rhoades exposes corrupt politics in the Confederate military high command, explains completely for the first time several major battles of the Civil War, and shatters the god-like image of the real guilty party: General Robert E Lee.
