This was a very unique book. It is composed of three journal-like records (written by General Hood, Anna Maria Hood and Eli Griffin) that, together, attempt to disprove the mistaken beliefs about one of the Civil War?s most infamous Confederate generals. Rather than focusing on his war activities, it focuses on his life afterwards and attempts to portray him as a changed man who learned a bit too late the value of life and the unimportance money, status and ambition. Changed by his failures and his wife, he was finally transformed into a general whom we can admire and respect, recognizing that he, like the rest of us, was a faulty human who made many mistakes but learned from them in the end. Although the timeline of the book gets a little confusing as it skips back and forth between the three journals, it flows smoothly enough to hold the reader?s interest throughout due to its interesting cast of supporting characters and the intrigues and adventures in which they?re involved. Each character both influences and is influenced by Hood as the strings of their lives are permanently entwined and it is interesting to watch the result of these relationships in each of their lives. One of the most striking examples is that of Sebastian Lemmerle. I found Hick?s idea that we have the power to create and foster evil as well as good in other people very interesting. More compelling, though, is the image the book provides of Hood and Anna?s marriage. Like most couples, they experienced the headiness and passion of first love and the loss of those things that often comes with long relationships. Watching the way their relationship survived and, in fact, metamophosed into something more beautiful and lasting is the best aspect of the entire book.
