Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The myth of Confederate military superiority dies hard-but it should have died at Fort Donelson.In February 1862, 13,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered in what became the largest capitulation in American military history to that point. But this wasn't a noble defeat against impossible odds. It was an "unconditional failure" of Confederate leadership so complete it bordered on the criminal.Two generals fled in the night, abandoning their troops to save their own skins. One escaped by steamboat with his personal regiments while leaving others behind. Another paddled across an icy river in a makeshift boat. Both left a professional soldier to surrender an army he could have saved if competent leadership had been in place from the beginning.This is the story the "Lost Cause" mythology doesn't want you to know-how Confederate command incompetence, not Union superiority, opened the door to Union victory in the Western Theater. Through vivid character portraits and rigorous historical analysis, Unconditional Failure reveals the systemic problems that plagued Confederate military leadership throughout the war.You'll discover: How political appointments trumped military competence in Confederate command structureWhy Confederate forces snatched defeat from the jaws of tactical victoryHow personal cowardice masqueraded as military strategyThe stark contrast between Confederate command chaos and Union professional leadershipWhy these patterns repeated throughout the war in campaign after campaignFrom the respected general whose strategic miscalculations created the crisis, to the political appointee whose midnight flight became synonymous with military dishonor, to the professional soldier who maintained his integrity even in defeat-Unconditional Failure strips away romantic mythology to reveal the human drama behind one of the Civil War's most significant Confederate defeats.If you think you know the story of Confederate military leadership, think again.
