Abstract

The training of soldiers "who saw the sharp end of Civil War combat" (10) has been a neglected subject in the historiography of the war. In Training, Tactics, and Leadership in the Confederate Army of Tennessee, Andrew Haughton has produced a genuinely original study on the format and content of training and doctrine for one of the least successful armies in modern history--the Confederate Army of Tennessee. He analyzes every aspect of an army from volunteer to general officers, explains the process Confederate soldiers experienced as they adapted to military life, and seeks to interpret the mechanics of battle, or the process by which army commanders shaped the combat effectiveness of their soldiers and fought battles.
