- Summary:
- "Few Civil War generals attracted as much debate and controversy as Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard. He combined brilliance and charisma with arrogance and histrionics. Sean Michael Chick explores a life of contradictions and dreams unrealized-the first real hero of the Confederacy who sometimes proved to be his own worst enemy"-- Provided by publisher.
