Summary
"This intriguing study traces the evolution of Confederate command and how it affected the shifting strategic situation and general course of the war. The emphasis is on the functioning of headquarters and staff-the central nervous system of any military command. This was especially so for the Trans-Mississippi which assumed a unique and vital role among Confederate military departments and provided a focus for continued Confederate resistance west of the Mississippi River"-- Provided by publisher.
