Born to Battle
Jack Hurst, Joe Barrett
Born to Battle examines the Civil Wars complex and decisive western theater through the exploits of its greatest figures, Ulysses S. Grant and Nathan Bedford Forrest. These two opposing giants squared off in some of the most epic campaigns of the warâbattles that set the stage for the final showdowns of the bloody, protracted conflict. Beginning with the Union victory at Tennessees Fort Donelson in February 1862, Hurst follows both men through the campaigns of the next twenty months, showing how this critical periodâand these two unequaled leadersâwould change the course of the war. An utterly American tale about class, merit, and their role in one of the most formative wars in the nations history, Born to Battle offers an impassioned account of two visionary Civil War leaders and the clashing cultures they foughtâin some cases, quite ironicallyâto protect. When the North embraced Grant, it won a stalwart defender. When the South rejected Forrest, by contrast, it sealed its fate.
