In Beauregard's Defense (Hard Bound)
“In General Beauregard’s Defense” by Larry Allen McCluney, Jr., is a needed addition to the body of knowledge about the Civil War. That is to say, that it is not just welcomed, but needed. It is a particularly needed addition to the knowledge about a wellknown General but, in reality, not known at all. iv Beyond his flamboyant name, his battle record is not investigated to any depth by students of the war. To make a point, how many people know that Beauregard is second only to Lee in battlefield success? Not enough, I would suggest. The ubiquitous Beauregard was everywhere in the war! He was the commanding officer at the firing on Fort Sumter, Bull Run, Shiloh, Petersburg against Ben Butler; saving the city from Federal occupation and extending the war for quite some time. 390 pages.
