General John H. Winder, C.S.A.: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "General John H. Winder, C.S.A." wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

After almost forty years in the U.S. Army, Winder spent the last four years of his life as a Confederate brigadier general. His command of Richmond earned him the contempt of the Confederate civilians; and, as commandant of all Union prisoners, he became known to northerners as the beast of Andersonville. This is a study in military ethics, an examination of one mans attempt to do his duty withough tarnishing his honor, and an account of his failures and their enduring consequences.
