"his book is a condemnation of those politicians and businessmen who failed to adequately support the Confederate soldiers."
Bryan,
I think that was one of the major sins of the times. Failing to support your "command". I recall a talk my company commander gave to all of us boots one morning in San Diego. It was about command and responsibility. He was equating it to being perhaps an E-2 and having "a Command that consists of two E-1's". It might be a small command, but it is your command at the moment and not only do you have some authority, but more important, you have responsibility to your command in terms of drink, food, billeting, etc. It really touched me being taught by that fine old WWII Cheif Bos'n Mate. I have never forgoten it and I carried through my Navy time and I have carried it for the last 50 some years in my civil life since it still applies. That was the big failure in the south at that time, in my opinion.
